Request

[JeroenvanA]

Hey Evert Job, thanks for let me use your blueprint. Looks great! A request. I'm using a Hue light next to my TV. Could you create an action that could restore the light after ... seconds that will work after CLEAR and the end of the race?

A bigger request is to make custom actions at every flag. That way a could use that action to send a mqtt payload to my AWTRIX clock. Others could use it for sending notifications etc.

Thanks again, and have fun at the next race!
Gr Jeroen

I made a automtion from the blue print, maybe it is use for you.
These are my default settings for the lamp I’m using.”

- choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.state == 'CLEAR' }}"
        sequence:
          - target:
              entity_id: "{{ light }}"
            data:
              rgbw_color:
                - 5
                - 4
                - 0
                - 255
              brightness: 30
            action: light.turn_on

But you can also do:

- choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.state == 'CLEAR' }}"
        sequence:
          - target:
              entity_id: "{{ light }}"
            action: light.turn_off
