Presence based lights
Home Assistant has a built-in integration called device_sun_light_trigger
to help you automate your lights. The integration will:
- Fade in the lights when the sun is setting and there are people home
- Turn on the lights when people get home after the sun has set
- Turn off the lights when all people leave the house
This integration requires the integrations sun, device_tracker, person and light to be enabled.
To enable this integration, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_sun_light_trigger:
