That’s correct! Essentially color temperature will be the most accurate, then RGB, then dimmable—but you don’t need to put devices in each category.
This app actually uses time-of-day and sunrise/sunset based off of your hub’s location to set the color temperature. You can set custom sunrise/sunset times, too, so you can have a consistent year-long schedule.
Ah, congratulations!
Ok thanks for clarifying!
So if I got this right the app knows three modes. 2700k, 6000k and 6000k at 1%....
The latter will be chosen according to when my hub enters sleep mode (where can I configure this sleep mode?).
Does light temperature also automatically change when the lights are on? ( so when morning goes into noon) or do you have to turn them off and on again?
Also how does the app dim lights? How does it know how bright it is outside? ( same time but cloudy or not can make a huge difference in brightness....)
Thank you!
Thanks again!
Are the other two assigned as sunrise/sunset to midday color temperatures?
Yes. It’s a pretty fluid change. I think it updates something like once every 1-10 minutes, but that depends.
Currently, it’s time-based on sunrise and sunset times. I’m working on how to implement ideal brightness, but that’s pretty far down the road,
I'm sorry but I guess I missed something. I didnt assign anything. I just specified my lights and hit "done". I thought the app would do the rest. I was just repeating what I read about the app at smatthings forum.
So far it doesnt seem to work. Bulbs are always shining at 100% no matter if its evening/dark outside or not. Also I haven't notice any change in color temperature so far....but its only 11 am....so maybe in an hour it'll change.
Brightness may be straight-up broken. Sorry about that! I’ll see to fixing that this week. Color temperature is tested and working, though.
Edit: To confirm, you’ve turned on enable brightness overrides in the settings?
I'm not seeing this happen. The version from ST with parent/child apps seems to do it consistently, but I haven't seen this behavior with your version.
Am I missing a setting?
Thanks,
Jon
Nope I didnt turn on any overrides. I only switched on enable dynamic brightness in the main menu.
Should I turn on all the overrides? Do I have to specify a value underneath then?
Best regards
Are you doing Color temperature, RGB, or Dimmers-Only?
Right, dynamic brightness should enable it. Something is broken. I’ll take a look into that. Sorry for the troubles!
Ok so do I have to turn on "overrides" in color temperature? Or can I ignore the "advanced options".
Only if you’re using an override—whether that be per-mode, or some other setting in there. You should only have to do it in the section that you’re using an override in. I’d like to find a way to make this more seamless in a future version.
I might have found the answer to why the app isn't working. Hubitat does'nt support my zip code.....what a fail.
OK. I apologize for the misstatement. It is working as described. I had my logic backward when assigning a switch on/off disabling CD behaviors. I'm in good shape, and it seems to be working much better than other versions.
I'll wait patiently for the parent-child so that I can have some of my light's CD behavior disabled by a switch and others not.
Thanks!
You can already do this—just create a new Circadian daylight app in your apps page for different devices. I usually have 10 of them or so, but I’ve toned it back while I’ve done some other development.
Shoot! Sorry to hear that. I guess having the overrides for sunrise and sunset are better than nothing, in that case 
Awesome! Never thought of that. Thanks!!
Any thoughts of why this might be happening? The attached log is from a single switch turning on, a single bulb, which is entered into CD.
I have only one mode called Anytime. The lights are staying at 2700k. I have this installed on my other hub and they are adjusting correctly.

I still get a lot of duplicates in the logs, but it is working correctly, it seems.
That's abnormal. Do you have a brightness per mode set, or any other mode settings?
UPDATED: I don't have anything other than the virtual device from my bulb groups added. No overrides or modes used at all.
Looking at the status page and it should also be false on the level, as I don't have CD adjusting dimmer levels.
I am still having trouble with sunrise/set offsets. The error below occurs with the override toggle in either position. Thoughts?
