EC enhancement request #300

Feature Requests.
I do something similar using node red and would like to see it in the entity controller before I start using your entity controller.

  1. active/inactive EC based on illuminance value from another sensor rather than time of day. Some rooms in the house need more light that others and some rooms always need light and this is not based on time of day. using illuminance can then consider light levels that are adjusted based on weather conditions such as stormy days where lights are still needed even after a given sunrise/sunset time of day.
  2. I also have node red flows that will trigger a toilet light at night and the bathroom main lights during the day. maybe this can be accomplished with 2 different ECs.
  3. I use illuminance to set the light brightness when there is motion as well. For instance at 1 am, bathroom motion turns on the toilet light to 10%. the brightness comes from another sensor that considers luminance to calculate the appropriate brightness. Just some enhancements to think about.

Id like to start using your ECs but currently more node-red flows allow be to do more that what can currently be done using you EC's - I think

Thanks Mark
