"only_once" not respected by "Sleep switch".
When lights are already on, they seem to turn to the sleep settings when the sleep mode switch is turned on.
I would expect lights to stay in their current state and only go to sleep mode after being turned off and on again.
Is this achievable in any way?
This is actually by design.
Setting these all have the same effect:
- turning light on and off
- turning the adaptive lighting switch on and off
- turning sleep mode switch on and off
It would be much more difficult to implement tracking only_once in all cases.
Would there not be a way for the "to sleep settings" action call on the bulbs check that they are not on?
Yes, that is possible, however, I would need to implement it in a way that it is configurable because I do not want to change the current behavior (which people rely on).
Currently, I do not find it worth the trouble given the exploding number of configuration options.
What is your use-case if I might ask? 😄
My use-case is very specific, so probably won't apply to much, but here I go;
I host events very regularly in my house, events where the lights have saturated colors.
I would like to enable the "Sleep mode" when the main users or the house are asleep ( Partners and Squatters ), while keeping the lights that are still on in their original color until that room is emptied by the remaining guests, turning to a "sleep mode" color when motion is re-detected ( This will incentivize the guests to remain in the already occupied rooms and slowly make more and more rooms darker. )
My goal will all of this is to automate the programmed death of the party, where people are cordially pushed out by automated means.
Sounds like a cool use case.
I might be able to implement only_once differently where it marks a light as manually_control. Then I could provide an option where one selects how manually control is reset. However, it might be a while until I find the time for this.

I'm a patient person!
