Lights is an automation framework for smart switches or lights.
It was initially developed to work with shelly.cloud devices, but could potentially work with any other devices that support webhooks and provide an API to send commands to the devices.
Instructions to set-up the solution on Google Cloud Functions follows. It is possible to deploy on other platforms or on your own computer (in this case, you'd need to keep it powered up for it to work).
Configuration is stored on a Google Spreadsheet. The Spredsheet must contain the following columns:
| Name | External ID | Internal ID | Channel | Mode | Start time | End time | Timer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Here is a description of what each column means:
- Name This is for you to identify the element this row refers to. You can input any value here.
- External ID ID that identifies the device on the Firestore database.
- Internal ID ID that identifies the device on the Shelly API.
- Channel Device's channel. This is used to identify the device with the Shelly API, as several devices might have the same ID and different channels.
- Mode Mode for the device. See Modes of operation:
- Start time The rule will only be active between Start time and End time.
- End time The rule will only be active between Start time and End time.
- Timer Meaning depends on the mode of operation for that row.
In order to select a mode of operation for a row, set the Mode column to the name of the mode of operation. Here is the list of the currently possible modes and a description of each one of them:
- scheduled_timer The device will be automatically shut off after X minutes, which are defined in the column Timer.
