Hey guys, I am using a wake up light that is working fine for my Hue Iris lamp. I added my ceiling light to the wake up mode which is working as well, but the light always starts at 100 % brightness although in the automation start_brightness is set to 1. The lbulbs used for that are Tapo L530.
Could you please have a look at my code?

move the variables block under the actions key
i.e.
actions:
- variables:
light_entity: light.deckenleuchte_und_hue_iris
sensor: ...
i dont really get this, can you explain pls? Shouldnt variables be defined at the beginning?
i changed it as you said. will go try it out now
this seems to have broken it 😦

maybe an issue on my wifi settings
when reverting the setting and double checking it did not do it in the first place either
give me a min
nope, this way it just does not do anything. Blueprint gets triggered but is not turning the lamp on
maybe i did a mistake, will check again
https://smalldev.tools/share-bin/eJkflsWT that is the code now
alright this should work now, its triggering it. I am going to have a look at the light now to see if it still sparks to 100% brightness
Alright so what happens is: When it gets triggered it always uses the last brightness from the last time it was turned on
how can I change this?

Hi @rocky fjord
Level 1 could be out of the range of the light and it doesn't know what to do with it. Start at level 10 or something.

will try, ty!
is it possible that it does not understand 1-255 maybe? Needs 1-100 %?

brightness expects 0 to 255
In the light.turn_on action you can also use brightness_pct

I think starting with 20 did the trick!
