Here's my circadian lighting routine, and an example motion/auto lighting on/off which takes account of the circadian lighting and various other settings/switches to control lighting nicely.

Main routine to calculate the circadian level and temp. Having coded this in HE RM I can tell you that this is significantly easier here in NR once I figured it out. Basically there are 2 entry points - one that kicks off at sunrise to start adjusting the temp and levels up, and one that kicks off at golden hour (I have no idea when that is, but it sounded cool and works fine after a negative adjustment). The nodes automatically know these times because you put in the lat/long for your location (I'm in Thailand as most of you know already). Now, for the evening calculation, I wanted the routine to start to dim the lights around golden-hour or sunset-ish, and then continue doing this until 11pm at night. So to achieve this the trick was simply to rotate my location back around the globe by (if I recall correctly) 90 degrees in order to move the dimming to be completed at around 11pm instead of sunset. This is easy by just negatively adjusting the latitude. Maybe there's a better way, but this works perfectly

export

Then here's the motion/auto on/off lighting routine. I've created one of these for each room/area of the house. It will automatically update the room's lighting to the appropriate temp/level based on the global context variables set in the circadian routine above and the time of day. It does this every 2 minutes and the change is imperceptible which is perfect for a smooth lighting change. But also it will respond to switches set in HE to control:

circadian lighting - on/off
lights auto off - on/off (useful if you dont want the light to automatically time out)
lights on in the daytime - on/off (sometimes we want the lights on during the day automatically too - I do also have a lux sensor for this which works through modes)
mode (lights automatically come on in Evening/Night)

In this example, I have 2 motion sensors to trigger the lights on/off, and in addition I'm using 3 virtual motion sensors connected to a Samsung Camera for cancelling the lights off (on recognition of motion, person, or face using tinyCAM AI motion/object tracking app)

export

FInally, I've found this set-up (image below) helpful to synchronise my lighting switches (this way I can adjust them either in ND or in HE). Not perfectly happy with this yet, I'm sure there must be a better way but anyway it works for me and might be useful as an idea for others.

All of this together has completely transformed the motion lighting at my property from sluggish at best on HE to instant on NR. Instead of going via HE I'm actioning the lighting directly now from NR to Hue and it is instantaneous. I then have the groups in Hue connected to HE so that dashboards there get updated fairly quickly with the polling mechanism and I can still adjust the lighting from an HE dashboard if I want (or indeed from the Hue app). So this is a really flexible set-up.

I use websocket and it's been working very fine (although I do see some errors in NR as posted elsewhere, but the flows continue to work).

this is very cool and honestly something I never thought of thanks for sharing

Hi All,

Does anyone have a flow where the status of devices in a room can be reported, and if any devices are on, it can show a indicator of some sort? (Could be number or the turning on of a device etc).

In webCoRE I have a variable set for each room, and should any device in that room be on, the variable is updated. This switches on a Virtual device like "Lounge Status". below I use this on my Dash to show that something in that room is on. I can flick the virtual switch, and turn off all devices in that room. But what I cant figure out is how to have NR know that at least one device in that room is on.

Dash example.

I hope this makes sense (to someone at least ) TIA

I don't have a flow, but ganging all of the switches into an ultimate Boolean and using the or output should work. I can build something up later.

Royski · July 23, 2020, 1:35pm

Yeah I tried this way, not much success. It could be due to the devices coming from different systems, and maybe I messed the payloads up, but could have sworn I got them right though.

This one was easy, as the group is in deCONZ, my issue starts when some come from deCONZ and some from Hue.

napalmcsr · July 23, 2020, 2:20pm

Something like this, you can keep adding and increasing the number of inputs in the Boolean:

Cheers for this, but getting an error on import.

pat.richards · July 23, 2020, 3:24pm

@napalmcsr fyi one work around we found to this problem was to post the code in a code block

bill.d · July 23, 2020, 3:34pm

For people posting flows - use the Preformatted Text (</>) option to avoid formatting errors.

napalmcsr · July 23, 2020, 3:46pm

fixed in original post with preformatted text as recommended.

TechMedX · July 23, 2020, 9:13pm

Thank you for letting us know. I will update post 1 (and any of mine) to include this as well!

Royski · July 24, 2020, 8:55am

Thanks again for this, for HE devices this works I think my issue is, I then have deCONZ devices and Hue. But I'll look at modifying the payload sections. Is there anyway to add to them to keep it in one node, do you think?

Hue is using true and false already as is deCONZ, it appears only to be HE which is passing a payload.value of on/off etc.

Cheers
Roy

napalmcsr · July 24, 2020, 11:05am

You should be able to do hue and deCONZ would need their own "switch to Bool" block that attaches to the ultimate Boolean block.
