Hey everyone, I’m diving into the world of adaptive lighting and have been experimenting with the Adaptive Lighting integration in Home Assistant. It’s been a fantastic journey, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around some of its features. One thing that’s been on my mind is how the min_sunrise_time setting affects the lighting curve. Let me share my thoughts and see if anyone can shed some light on this!
I’ve been using a manual sunrise time to adjust the lighting curve, and I’m curious about how this impacts the overall profile. Does it simply shift the curve as if the sunrise were occurring earlier, or does it modify the curve in a different way? I’ve read that it acts as a ‘clamp’ on the profile, but I’m not entirely sure what that means in practice. If I set min_sunrise_time to 06:00, for example, does the curve look identical but just shifted left as if the real sunrise were at that time? Or is there something more nuanced happening?
I’ve also been dealing with an issue related to the Modbus binding. When my RS485-Ethernet gateway disconnects, the binding generates a lot of log entries every 3 seconds. It’s a bit overwhelming, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to configure it to attempt reconnection after a minute instead of flooding the logs. Has anyone encountered this and found a solution?
On a more positive note, I’ve been using the Adaptive Lighting integration to create a smooth transition between day and night lighting. It’s been a game-changer for my morning and evening routines. I’d love to hear how others are configuring their setups, especially for handling late sunrises or early sunsets.
If anyone has insights into the min_sunrise_time behavior or tips for managing the Modbus binding logs, I’d be thrilled to hear from you! Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other optimize our smart home setups.
