ad-automoli: A Python repository from BoOmka

Fully automatic light management based on motion as AppDaemon app.

🕓 multiple daytimes to define different scenes for morning, noon, ...
💡 supports Hue (for Hue Rooms/Groups) & Home Assistant scenes
🔌 switches lights and plugs (with lights)
☀️ supports illumination sensors to switch the light just if needed
💦 supports humidity sensors as blocker (the "shower case")
🔍 automatic discovery of lights and sensors
⛰️ stable and tested by many people with different homes

Getting Started

Docker Image (`amd64`, `arm` and `arm64`)

You can try AutoMoLi via Docker without installing anything! The Image is the default AppDaemon one with AutoMoLi and a simple default configuration added. See the AppDaemon Docker Tutorial on how to use it in general.

AutoMoLi expects motion sensors and lights including a room name. The exact patterns are listed in Auto-Discovery of Lights and Sensors You can set a room with the AUTOMOLI_ROOM variable in the Docker run command.

docker run --rm --interactive --tty --name AutoMoLi \
--env HA_URL="<HA URL>" \
--env TOKEN="<HA Token>" \
--env AUTOMOLI_ROOM="bathroom" \
--ports 5050:5050 \
benleb/automoli:latest

Port 5050 is opened to give access to the AppDaemon Admin-UI at http://127.0.0.1:5050

Example

To test AutoMoLi in your Esszimmer (german for dining room), use ... --env AUTOMOLI_ROOM="esszimmer" ... in the Docker run command.

AppDaemon will show you its config file on startup:
If everything works, AutoMoLi will show you the configuration it has parsed, including the discovered sensors:
This is how it looks when AutoMoLi manages your lights:

Installation

Use HACS or download the automoli directory from inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory, then add the configuration to enable the automoli module.

Example App Configuration

Add your configuration to appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml, an example with two rooms is below.

livingroom:
  module: automoli
  class: AutoMoLi
  room: livingroom
  disable_switch_entities:
    - input_boolean.automoli
    - input_boolean.disable_my_house
  delay: 600
  daytimes:
      # This rule "morning" uses a scene, the scene.livingroom_morning Home Assistant scene will be used
    - { starttime: "05:30", name: morning, light: "scene.livingroom_morning" }

    - { starttime: "07:30", name: day, light: "scene.livingroom_working" }

      # This rule"evening" uses a percentage brightness value, and the lights specified in lights: below will be set to 90%
    - { starttime: "20:30", name: evening, light: 90 }

    - { starttime: "22:30", name: night, light: 20 }

      # This rule has the lights set to 0, so they will no turn on during this time period
    - { starttime: "23:30", name: more_night, light: 0 }

  # If you are using an illuminance sensor you can set the lowest value here that blocks the lights turning on if its already light enough
  illuminance: sensor.illuminance_livingroom
  illuminance_threshold: 100

  # You can specify a light group or list of lights here
  lights:
    - light.livingroom

  # You can specify a list of motion sensors here
  motion:
    - binary_sensor.motion_sensor_153d000224f421
    - binary_sensor.motion_sensor_128d4101b95fb7

  # See below for info on humidity
  humidity:
    - sensor.humidity_128d4101b95fb7


bathroom:
  module: automoli
  class: AutoMoLi
  room: bathroom
  delay: 180
  motion_state_on: "on"
  motion_state_off: "off"
  daytimes:
    - { starttime: "05:30", name: morning, light: 45 }
    - { starttime: "07:30", name: day, light: "Day" }
    - { starttime: "20:30", name: evening, light: 100 }
    - { starttime: "22:30", name: night, light: 0 }

  # As this is a bathroom there could be the case that when taking a bath or shower, motion is not detected and the lights turn off, which isnt helpful, so the following settings allow you to use a humidity sensor and humidity threshold to prevent this by detecting the humidity from the shower and blocking the lights turning off.
  humidity:
    - sensor.humidity_128d4101b95fb7
  humidity_threshold: 75

  lights:
    - light.bathroom
    - switch.plug_68fe8b4c9fa1
  motion:
    - binary_sensor.motion_sensor_158d033224e141

Auto-Discovery of Lights and Sensors

AutoMoLi is built around rooms. Every room or area in your home is represented as a seperate app in AppDaemon with separat light setting. In your configuration you will have one config block for every room, see example configuration.
For the auto-discovery of your lights and sensors to work, AutoMoLi expects motion sensors and lights including a room name (can also be something else than a real room) like below:

sensor.illumination_room
binary_sensor.motion_sensor_room
binary_sensor.motion_sensor_room_something
light.room

AutoMoLi will detect them automatically. Manually configured entities will take precedence.

Configuration Options

key	optional	type	default	description
`module`	False	string	automoli	The module name of the app.
`class`	False	string	AutoMoLi	The name of the Class.
`room`	False	string		The "room" used to find matching sensors/light
`disable_switch_entities`	True	list/string		One or more Home Assistant Entities as switch for AutoMoLi. If the state of any entity is off, AutoMoLi is deactivated. (Use an input_boolean for example)
`only_own_events`	True	bool		Track if automoli switched this light on. If not, an existing timer will be deleted and the state will not change
`disable_switch_states`	True	list/string	["off"]	Custom states for `disable_switch_entities`. If the state of any entity is in this list, AutoMoLi is deactivated. Can be used to disable with `media_players` in `playing` state for example.
`disable_hue_groups`	True	boolean	False	Disable the use of Hue Groups/Scenes
`disable_sensor_auto_lookup`	True	boolean	False	Use only explicitly configured sensors
`delay`	True	integer	150	Seconds without motion until lights will switched off. Can be disabled (lights stay always on) with `0`
~~`motion_event`~~	~~True~~	~~string~~		replaced by `motion_state_on/off`
`daytimes`	True	list	see code	Different daytimes with light settings (see below)
`transition_on_daytime_switch`	True	bool	False	directly activate a daytime on its start time (instead to just set it as active daytime used if lights are switched from off to on)
`lights`	True	list/string	auto detect	Light entities
`motion`	True	list/string	auto detect	Motion sensor entities
`illuminance`	True	list/string		Illuminance sensor entities
`illuminance_threshold`	True	integer		If illuminance is above this value, lights will not switched on
`humidity`	True	list/string		Humidity sensor entities
`humidity_threshold`	True	integer		If humidity is above this value, lights will not switched off
`motion_state_on`	True	integer		If using motion sensors which don't send events if already activated, like Xiaomi do, add this to your config with "on". This will listen to state changes instead
`motion_state_off`	True	integer		If using motion sensors which don't send events if already activated, like Xiaomi do, add this to your config with "off". This will listen to the state changes instead.
`door`	True	list/string		Door binary sensor entities
`door_blocking_states`	True	list/string	["off"]	Door binary sensor entities
`debug_log`	True	bool	false	Activate debug logging (for this room)

daytimes

key	optional	type	default	description
`starttime`	False	string		Time this daytime starts
`name`	False	string		A name for this daytime
`delay`	True	integer	150	Seconds without motion until lights will switched off. Can be disabled (lights stay always on) with `0`. Setting this will overwrite the global `delay` setting for this daytime.
`light`	False	integer/string		Light setting (percent integer value (0-100) in or scene entity
