Services

Adaptive Lighting provides three services for programmatic control, allowing you to integrate with automations and scripts.

adaptive_lighting.apply

Applies the current Adaptive Lighting settings to lights on demand. Useful for forcing an immediate update or applying settings to lights that aren't in the regular adaptation cycle.

Parameters

Service data attribute	Description	Required	Type
`entity_id`	The `entity_id` of the switch with the settings to apply. 📝	✅	list of `entity_id`s
`lights`	A light (or list of lights) to apply the settings to. 💡	❌	list of `entity_id`s
`transition`	Duration of transition when lights change, in seconds. 🕑	❌	`float` 0-6553
`adapt_brightness`	Whether to adapt the brightness of the light. 🌞	❌	bool
`adapt_color`	Whether to adapt the color on supporting lights. 🌈	❌	bool
`prefer_rgb_color`	Whether to prefer RGB color adjustment over light color temperature when possible. 🌈	❌	bool
`turn_on_lights`	Whether to turn on lights that are currently off. 🔆	❌	bool

Example Usage

# Apply current settings to specific lights
service: adaptive_lighting.apply
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
  lights:
    - light.floor_lamp
    - light.desk_lamp
  turn_on_lights: false

# Force apply with custom transition
service: adaptive_lighting.apply
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_bedroom
  transition: 5
  adapt_brightness: true
  adapt_color: true

adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control

Marks or unmarks a light as "manually controlled". When a light is marked as manually controlled, Adaptive Lighting will not adjust it until the manual control flag is cleared.

Parameters

Service data attribute	Description	Required	Type
`entity_id`	The `entity_id` of the switch in which to (un)mark the light as being `manually controlled`. 📝	✅	list of `entity_id`s
`lights`	entity_id(s) of lights, if not specified, all lights in the switch are selected. 💡	❌	list of `entity_id`s
`manual_control`	Whether to add ("true") or remove ("false") all adapted attributes of the light from the "manual_control" list, or the name of an attribute for selective addition. 🔒	❌	bool or one of `['brightness', 'color']`

Example Usage

# Remove manual control from a light (resume adaptation)
service: adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
  lights:
    - light.floor_lamp
  manual_control: false

# Mark a light as manually controlled (pause adaptation)
service: adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
  lights:
    - light.floor_lamp
  manual_control: true

# Only pause brightness adaptation, continue color adaptation
service: adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
  lights:
    - light.floor_lamp
  manual_control: brightness

adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings

`adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings`

adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings (new in 1.7.0) Change any of the above configuration options of Adaptive Lighting (such as sunrise_time or prefer_rgb_color) with a service call directly from your script/automation.

Warning

These settings will not be written to your config and will be reset on restart of Home Assistant! You can see the current settings in the switch.adaptive_lighting_XXX attributes if include_config_in_attributes is enabled.

Service data attribute	Required	Description
`use_defaults`	❌	(default: `current` for current settings) Choose from `factory`, `configuration`, or `current` to reset variables not being set with this service call. `current` leaves them as they are, `configuration` resets to initial startup values, `factory` resets to default values listed in the documentation.
all other keys (except the ones in the table below ⚠️)	❌	See the table below for disallowed keys.

The following keys are disallowed:

DISALLOWED service data	Description
`entity_id`	You cannot change the switch's `entity_id`, as it has already been registered.
`lights`	You may call `adaptive_lighting.apply` with your lights or create a new config instead.
`name`	You can rename your switch's display name in Home Assistant's UI.
`interval`	The interval is used only once when the config loads. A config change and restart are required.

Example Usage

# Temporarily change color temperature range
service: adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
  min_color_temp: 2500
  max_color_temp: 4000

# Override sunrise time for the day
service: adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_bedroom
  sunrise_time: "07:00:00"
  use_defaults: current

# Reset to configuration defaults
service: adaptive_lighting.change_switch_settings
data:
  entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_living_room
  use_defaults: configuration

Events

Adaptive Lighting also fires events that you can use in automations.

adaptive_lighting.manual_control

Fired when a light is marked as "manually controlled" due to a detected manual change.

Event Data:

Attribute	Description
`entity_id`	The light that was marked as manually controlled
`switch`	The Adaptive Lighting switch entity

Example Automation

automation:
  - alias: "Log manual control events"
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: adaptive_lighting.manual_control
    action:
      - service: notify.mobile_app
        data:
          title: "Adaptive Lighting"
          message: "{{ trigger.event.data.entity_id }} was manually controlled"
