Hi everyone, I wanted to share a fun project I recently worked on to create a cozy evening atmosphere in my home using RGB ceiling lights and some smart automation. It’s been a game-changer for how I relax in the evenings!
The setup involves using my solar battery’s state of charge as a trigger for the RGB lights. My goal was to have the lights subtly indicate the battery level through color changes. For example, green for high charge, orange for medium, and red for low. I found this automation guide really helpful and adapted it to my needs: [link to guide].
Here’s how it works: I set up a sensor that calculates the battery percentage and converts it into RGB values. Then, I created an automation that updates the light color every hour. It’s been running smoothly, and it’s so satisfying to glance up and see the light’s color reflecting our energy usage!
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried something similar or has tips for improving this setup. Maybe adding a brightness adjustment based on the time of day? Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers,
