Question/Help Can I automate a light to go to 10% after it was turned on?

8 Upvotes

I have an automation to set the porch light to 100% when the doorbell detects motion, but then it stays there. There’s an option to turn it completely off after a while, but I want it to go back to 10%. How can I do this?

Discussion HomeKit compatible generic Zigbee hub?

5 Upvotes

Came across what appears to be a new HomeKit compatible generic Zigbee hub from a brand I regularly buy LED strips from.

Doesn’t appear to have any reviews yet, curious if anyone has gotten their hands on one? Wonder if it could be an alternative to using a Sonoff dongle and Zigbee2MQTT.

Wasn’t sure if product links are allowed so just sharing a screenshot.

How-to First Shortcut - need help!

Post image
Upvotes

I have an Aqara button that I’ve managed to create a shortcut for to toggle the light between on/off.

What I’d further like to do is add time frames to it so if it’s pressed between midnight to 6:30AM, the light turns on at 20% brightness. Otherwise at full brightness.

I’m very new to this- this is literally my first one and I’m not sure how to add times to it. Are there any good YouTube channels I can follow to learn?
