Suggestion: Add dependents to weather and/or sensors

Open chrillebile opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hey, I have a suggestion that when calculating the lights colour temperature and brightness, CL should take in weather and/or sensor data into the calculation. For example I feel sometimes on a really cloudy day that the lights can be annoyingly bright or the colour make it feel all wrong. I think this should be and option that you could turn on.

This has been suggested before and to be honest it's somewhat contradictory to the purpose of Circadian Lighting. Maybe my description of this integration is poorly worded, but the main benefit of having lights sync to a Circadian Rhythm is to maintain consistency so your internal circadian cycle is maintained. To be honest, even allowing for syncing with sunrise/sunset has some disadvantages in this regard because doing so make the behavior change throughout the year.

Perhaps I or someone else will make a "natural lighting" integration that is designed to mimic actual current conditions but for the purposes of this integration and a circadian rhythm that would cause the opposite outcome than desired.
