A custom component for Home Assistant to create neat animated light scenes. These aren't really "scenes" in the sense of Home Assistant scenes, but rather switches to turn on/off to start and end an animation.
Features include:
- Remember the state of the lights before animation started, and restore lights to prior state after animation is turned off.
- Automatically disable other scenes when activating another scene.
- Add additional switches to turn off (such as a Flux or Circadian Light switch) when an animation starts.
- Scene switches work as expected with Google Assistant.
- If you turn a light off during an animation, it won't turn it back on. If you turn one on, it will add it to the animation automatically.
I have only tested this with my own system as of now. I do plan on fixing any bugs identified by others, and would like to hear feedback though.
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/chazzu/hass-animated-scenes.git - If you have not already done so, create a 'custom_components' folder inside the 'config' folder in your Home Assistant installation.
- Create an 'animated_scenes' folder inside your custom_components folder.
- Copy the repository files into the animated_scenes folder.
- Update your configuration.yaml as documented below and then restart your Home Assistant.
- Be sure to look for the new switch entities and add them to your Lovelace dashboard.
First, we configure the Animated Scenes component:
animated_scenes:
external_switches: # optional; list of entities to turn off when activating a scene
- switch.circadian_lighting_circadian_light
- switch.flux_light Then add scenes you want to set up:
switch
- platform: animated_scenes
name: Red Lights # name of scene
restore: False # don't restore lights to previous state after scene, defaults to True
ignore_off: False # if a light in the list is off, turn it on. Defaults to True, meaning lights will be ignored if they are off.
lights: # list of light entities to modify
- light.hue_color_lamp_1
- colors:
color_type: rgb # use rgb colors
color: [255, 0, 0]
brightness: 255 # maximum brightness
weight: 2 # optional; higher number makes a given color more likely to appear. Default is 10, so you can choose some numbers to be less frequent
one_change_per_tick: False # optional; defaults to false; only change color OR brightness on each tick, don't do both
- colors:
color_type: ct # color temperature colors
color: 500 # number in mireds
transition: 2 # take 2 seconds to transition
change_frequency: 15 # change lights every 15 seconds
change_amount: all # change all lights every time
animate_brightness: True # defaults to true to change brightness level
animate_color: True # defaults to true to change colorI did this initially to create an animation that mimics the Haunted House animation for Philips Hue but give me greater control. Here is the setting I settled on:
switch:
- platform: animated_scenes
name: Spooky Scene
