[FR] Alter "Shelly Night mode" #453

Open frosenlind opened 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No, new feature.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to alter the Shelly night mode witch you can find in the shelly app.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If you are doing something similar with eg. NodeRed your shelly "flickers" since it powes up to last known brightness and then changes to the desired. By using night mode the shelly knows the correct value at start.

Additional context

Can you please let me know what you need this for?

Can you please let me know what you need this for?

You want the lights to start at a specific brightness value during a certain period of time. For example during the night you don't want the bathroom lights to turn on to last known value (witch is often 100%) but to (lets say) 25%.

Today you could do this two ways.

  1. By editing night mode in the shelly app.
  2. By having an automation listening to "turn on" event on the shelly.

The problem with nr 1 is having to use the shelly app and not HA. The problem with nr 2 is that the shelly starts fading up to last known value before the automation kicks in.

Also. If it would be possible to alter the night mode on/off and the time of the night mode with shelly4hass you would also gain the ability to, with some small automations, set the brightness levels in the house for different times of the day without the need to call HA service turn_on.

Will a service call to set the dim level without turning on the light solves the problem?

frosenlind commented 4 years ago

In combination with other automations yes.

hakana commented 4 years ago

Yes I mean so you can change the dimmer level from automation without turning on the light.

frosenlind commented 4 years ago

Yes.

Ysbrand commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Yes, adjusting the dimmer without turning on the light would be perfect: http:///light/0?brightness=5 This would allow to change the dimming level using an automation. This is helps during nighttime as the night mode is not very flexible.
