brightness_mode_time_dark vs brightness_mode_time_light #905

Closed henfri closed 5 months ago

Location

Readme.md

Description

The Documentation and the GUI (incl German Translation) do Not explain the difference between

brightness_mode_time_dark (Ignored if brightness_mode='default') The duration in seconds to ramp up/down the brightness before/after sunrise/sunset. 📈📉 900 int

brightness_mode_time_light (Ignored if brightness_mode='default') The duration in seconds to ramp up/down the brightness after/before sunrise/sunset

I suspect: brightness_mode_time_dark (Ignored if brightness_mode='default') The duration in seconds to ramp down the brightness after sunrise/sunset. 📈📉 900 int

brightness_mode_time_light (Ignored if brightness_mode='default') The duration in seconds to ramp up the brightness before sunrise/sunset

Greetings,

Hendrik

It is correct in the description but perhaps not entirely clear.

brightness_mode_time_dark for example means the time before sunrise and the time after sunset. So the time that it is dark, moving to daylight in the morning and moving to darkness after sunset.

If you have suggestion for a better description, feel free to share! One requirement is that it should be brief.

thanks for your reply. I fear that I do not even understand after your reply....

Does this not mean, that brightness_mode_time_dark and brightness_mode_time_light cannot be used at the same time?

Greetings, Hendrik

Try the webapp here https://basnijholt.github.io/adaptive-lighting/

I think when you see the effects it will make sense.

It is clearer now. But I have no better wording...
