Exploring Smart Lighting Automation with RGB and CCT LED Strips

Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of smart lighting automation, and I wanted to share my experiences and some of the challenges I’ve encountered along the way. I’ve set up RGB and CCT LED strips around my living room, creating a dynamic lighting system that adjusts throughout the day. The goal was to have cooler tones during the daytime and warmer tones in the evening, all on a gradual basis. I adapted a script from an open-source community to achieve this, and while it works for adjusting the color temperature, I’ve run into an issue with the brightness slowly dropping over time. As the lights dim, they eventually turn off, which is frustrating because resetting the brightness brings them back on. I suspect this might be due to rounding issues within the tunable-white binding, as the brightness seems to fluctuate when adjusting the color temperature manually through the PaperUI interface. To address this, I’m considering updating the brightness alongside the temperature adjustments in the script. I’m curious if others have encountered similar issues or have any recommendations to resolve this without resorting to constant manual adjustments. It’s been a great learning experience, and I’m excited to continue refining my setup to create the perfect ambiance for my home. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :star2:
