|
|
|
|
### Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest release from [GitHub](https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/releases)
|
|
2. Extract the `adaptive_lighting` folder to your `config/custom_components/` directory
|
|
3. Restart Home Assistant
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Choose one of two configuration methods:
|
|
|
|
=== "Via UI"
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings** → **Devices & Services**
|
|
2. Click **+ Add Integration**
|
|
3. Search for "Adaptive Lighting"
|
|
4. Follow the setup wizard to name your Adaptive Lighting instance
|
|
5. Find Adaptive Lighting and click **Configure**
|
|
6. Select your lights and adjust the settings
|
|
|
|
No `adaptive_lighting:` entry is needed in `configuration.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
=== "Via YAML"
|
|
|
|
Instances configured through YAML must be edited in YAML.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
adaptive_lighting:
|
|
- name: "Living Room"
|
|
lights:
|
|
- light.living_room_ceiling
|
|
- light.living_room_lamp
|
|
min_brightness: 20
|
|
max_brightness: 100
|
|
min_color_temp: 2200
|
|
max_color_temp: 5500
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Restart Home Assistant after changing the YAML configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Basic YAML Configuration Example
|
|
|
|
Here's a simple configuration to get you started:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
adaptive_lighting:
|
|
- name: "Main Lights"
|
|
lights:
|
|
- light.living_room
|
|
- light.bedroom
|
|
- light.kitchen
|
|
transition: 30
|
|
min_brightness: 10
|
|
max_brightness: 100
|
|
min_color_temp: 2000
|
|
max_color_temp: 5500
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verifying Installation
|
|
|
|
After configuration, you should see new switches in Home Assistant:
|
|
|
|
- `switch.adaptive_lighting_main_lights`
|
|
- `switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_main_lights`
|
|
- `switch.adaptive_lighting_adapt_brightness_main_lights`
|
|
- `switch.adaptive_lighting_adapt_color_main_lights`
|
|
|
|
Turn on `switch.adaptive_lighting_main_lights` to start adapting your lights!
