this automation decreases the light by 10%. How do I do 1%?

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Shift+Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

You want https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light#service-lightturn_on and the brightness_step_pct option

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

light.outputmosfet_outputmosfet.default,x,y,0 in the /config/light_profiles.csv what is x,y for?

like this?

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:24 PM

Well, almost

#

light.turn_on

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

bitter cairn ```light.outputmosfet_outputmosfet.default,x,y,0``` in the /config/light_profile...

Two comma-separated floats that represent the color in XY

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

okey thx

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

no need for color

#

i only want to change the "brightness" of the mosfet

#

so can i leave x,y in the header?

#

it seems to be working 🙂 thx again

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:30 PM

#

Ignore that file

#

You only want to edit that file if you want to set defaults

#

I will say that your automation is horrible 😉

#

Every 10 seconds step it down 1%.... until it turns off?

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

so i have a battery charged by a pv-system

#

the sensor reads the energy consumption

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:32 PM

#

If it doesn't turn off it'll keep calling the service every 10 seconds, trying to set it from 1% to 0%

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

i use two automations to level out the consumption between 0 and -20 Watts

#

the timing is still a bit off

#

i have to test a bit more so the ouputmosfet reacts fast but does not overshoot 😄

#

i think it will never go to 0%

#

do you understand what kind of automation i want to create?

#

do you have a better idea?

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:38 PM

#

I do understand, and I'd probably trigger based on it going below -20, and use a repeat in the action

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:39 PM

#

i tried that one, but the esp32 with esphome had quiet a had time with so many inputs and crashed 😄

#

hard

That's going to be gentler on the ESP than what you wrote

#

thx that is more info that i expected 🙂 I will try that 🙂

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:44 PM

#

That'll run when the sensor falls below -20 and the light is on, and will stop running if the sensor goes above -20 or the light turns off

#

You could add another condition to stop it at 1% brightness

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

i see what you are doing there 🙂 quiet elegant

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

Sometimes brute force is the only way, but ... not always

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:50 PM

#

if i try your idea, can i remove the delay, so it is faster ?

#

do I run into a problem if it goes down to 0% ?

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

The delay is the same "delay" you had in yours

#

You can test it and see if it turns off when it goes from 1% to 0%

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

okey thx i will test now 🙂

#

the esp32 cant handle no delay 😄

#

i had to reset it and the automation wont start again because 0% means off...

#

´´´ trigger:

platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.strom_dg_aktuell
below: -20
platform: state
entity_id: light.outputmosfet_outputmosfet
to: 'on' ´´´

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:12 PM

```
code: here
```

#

Back ticks

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

the wrong ones

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

I assume you've turned it on?

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

''' trigger:

platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.strom_dg_aktuell
below: -20
platform: state
entity_id: light.outputmosfet_outputmosfet
to: 'on' '''

#

does this trigger turn the mosfet on or does it only check if its on?

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

Still the wrong ones

inner capeBOT May 23, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

There are three sections to an automation:

trigger: When any one of these becomes true the automation starts processing. Only one trigger is ever responsible for starting an automation, if you make a condition that checks for more than one having started the automation then the condition can never be true.
condition: These are checked after a trigger starts the processing, and must be true for the automation to continue.
action: This is the part that does something, and can also include further conditions.

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

😄

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

Triggers and conditions don't do anything

#

Only actions do

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

okey so i put another action into it

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

If you want it to do anything, yes

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

it is not working becaus the trigger and condition will block it currently

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

What are you trying to do?

#

If you want the light turned on do it manually, or write another automation to handle that

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:21 PM

#

I want the automation to work all the time even when i turn it of accidently

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

Then you want another automation that turns it on if it's turned off

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

or i just remove `

#

´´´ - condition: state
entity_id: light.outputmosfet_outputmosfet
state: "on" ´´´

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

One day ... one day you'll find the right quotes

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

😄

#

    entity_id: light.outputmosfet_outputmosfet
    state: "on" ```

#

😉

#

is it possible to generate the steps variable ?

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

"steps variable"?

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

let me make an example

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

If you want to change the size of the step change you'll need #templates-archived

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

so i turn on a light an the consumption increase by 100W I want to go in 10% steps but if i plug in a phone (=5w

#

)

#

i want to increase by 1%

#

depending on the gap between current and new consumption

magic wadi May 23, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

Yup, so you need #templates-archived

bitter cairn May 23, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

okey i will read the template section 🫠

#

i think we are done here thx for the help again 🙂 i will close the thread now bye :=
