Room Configuration Guide

Complete examples of configuring different room types with the Adaptive Lighting Mode System.

Example 1: Master Bedroom

Goal: Full control with optional AL, reading/sleep modes, weekend mode

Hardware:

  • Inovelli Blue Dimmer: bedroom_switch (Zigbee2MQTT name)
  • Lights: light.bedroom_ceiling, light.bedroom_lamp_1, light.bedroom_lamp_2
  • No presence sensor (privacy)

Adaptive Lighting Configuration (in configuration.yaml):

adaptive_lighting:
  - name: bedroom
    lights:
      - light.bedroom_ceiling
      - light.bedroom_lamp_1
      - light.bedroom_lamp_2
    interval: 90
    transition: 45
    take_over_control: true
    autoreset_control_seconds: 3600  # 1 hour gentle reset

Package File (packages/adaptive_lighting_master_bedroom.yaml):

Copy from adaptive_lighting_bedroom_template.yaml, customize:

  • Modes: Adaptive, Reading, Relaxing, Sleep, Manual Override
  • Weekend mode enabled
  • Default mode: Adaptive

Blueprint Automations (create via UI):

  1. Config Button Mode Cycling:

    • Blueprint: Inovelli Mode Cycling
    • Switch Action Event: event.bedroom_switch_action
    • Mode Input Select: input_select.bedroom_lighting_mode
    • LED Color Entity: number.bedroom_switch_led_color_when_on
    • Zigbee2MQTT Device Name: bedroom_switch
  2. Button Actions:

    • Blueprint: Inovelli Button Actions
    • Switch Action Event: event.bedroom_switch_action
    • AL Switch: switch.adaptive_lighting_bedroom
    • Target Lights: light.bedroom_ceiling, light.bedroom_lamp_1, light.bedroom_lamp_2
    • Auto-Reset: 30 minutes

Testing:

  • Press config button → mode cycles through all 5 modes
  • LED changes color for each mode
  • Double-tap up → brightness boosts
  • Weekend mode enables Friday 10pm
  • Sunrise shifts to 10am on weekend

Example 2: Living Room (Common Area)

Goal: Entertainment modes (Theater, Party), presence control

Hardware:

  • Inovelli Blue Dimmer: living_room_switch
  • Lights: light.living_room_ceiling, light.living_room_lamp_1
  • Presence: binary_sensor.living_room_occupancy

Package File (packages/adaptive_lighting_living_room.yaml):

Copy from adaptive_lighting_living_room_template.yaml

  • Modes: Adaptive, Theater, Party, Reading
  • Auto-reset mode to Adaptive when lights turn off

Blueprint Automations:

  1. Config Button Mode Cycling (same as bedroom)
  2. Button Actions (same as bedroom, adjust auto-reset to 15 min)
  3. Presence Mode Reset:
    • Occupancy Sensors: binary_sensor.living_room_occupancy
    • Empty Delay: 5 minutes
    • AL Switch: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
    • Mode Input Select: input_select.living_room_lighting_mode
    • Default Mode: Adaptive

Testing:

  • Enter room → lights turn on (via separate occupancy automation)
  • Press config button → cycles through 4 modes
  • Set to Theater mode, leave room → after 5 min, resets to Adaptive
  • Manual boost → leave room → manual control clears

Example 3: Bathroom (Simple)

Goal: Always Adaptive, brightness boost only

Hardware:

  • Inovelli Blue Dimmer: bathroom_switch
  • Lights: light.bathroom_ceiling, light.bathroom_vanity
  • Presence: binary_sensor.bathroom_occupancy

Package File (packages/adaptive_lighting_bathroom.yaml):

Copy from adaptive_lighting_simple_template.yaml

  • No modes (Adaptive only)
  • No weekend mode
  • Simple reset on presence end

Blueprint Automations:

  1. Button Actions ONLY:

    • Double-tap up: Boost brightness
    • Triple-tap down: Night light
    • Auto-reset: 10 minutes
  2. Presence Mode Reset:

    • Reset manual control when empty 5 minutes
    • No mode reset (no input_select)

Testing:

  • Double-tap up → brightness boosts
  • Leave bathroom 5 min → manual control clears
  • Triple-tap down → night light mode
  • No config button action (not configured)

Entity ID Quick Reference

Finding Your Entities

Inovelli Switch Entities (via Zigbee2MQTT):

event.{device_name}_action           # Button presses (event entity)
number.{device_name}_led_color_when_on
number.{device_name}_led_color_when_off
number.{device_name}_led_intensity_when_on
select.{device_name}_smart_bulb_mode
select.{device_name}_button_delay

Adaptive Lighting Entities:

switch.adaptive_lighting_{name}
switch.adaptive_lighting_sleep_mode_{name}
switch.adaptive_lighting_adapt_brightness_{name}
switch.adaptive_lighting_adapt_color_{name}

Your Input Helpers:

input_select.{room}_lighting_mode
input_boolean.{room}_weekend_mode

Common Customizations

Add a New Mode

  1. Edit package file, add mode to input_select:
input_select:
  bedroom_lighting_mode:
    options:
      - "Adaptive"
      - "Reading"
      - "NEW MODE HERE"  # Add this
  1. Add color mapping to global package (or use existing color)

  2. Add mode application to automation:

- conditions: "{{ mode == 'NEW MODE HERE' }}"
  sequence:
    - service: adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings
      data:
        min_brightness: 50
        max_brightness: 80
        # ... settings
  1. Reload YAML configuration

Change Auto-Reset Timeout

Edit blueprint automation via UI:

  • Settings → Automations → [Your button action automation]
  • Click Edit
  • Adjust "Auto-Reset Timeout" slider
  • Save

Disable Weekend Mode

Comment out weekend mode automations in package file:

#  - id: bedroom_weekend_mode_auto_enable
#    alias: "Bedroom: Enable Weekend Mode Friday/Saturday"
#    # ... entire automation

Reload YAML configuration.
