Activate manual control when lights are turned on with individual settings

See original GitHub issue

Use-Case: I have wall switches with two buttons. Left one toggles light and sets brightness to 100 %, right one turns on without specific settings, so:

  • left button: maximum brightness
  • right button: adaptive lighting

Issue: After using left button, so turning on light with…

service: light.toggle
data:
  brightness_pct: 100
  transition: 1
entity_id: light.bulb

…light turns on with 100 % brightness. After 10 seconds at latest it is being set to adaptive lighting´s current settings (e. g. 28 %).

Proposal: Set lights to manual control when they are turned on with a fixed setting (values brightness, color temperature etc.).

Or is there a workaround for my scenario? I DO NOT want to manually dim the light after turning it on. 100 % shall be accepted, please AL don´t ignore my wish.

Update: Maybe my scenario is related to https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting/issues/37, at least parts of it.

I’m currently in the process of doing version 2. This will be added/fixed.

Keep this ticket open until you can verify that it’s properly working in the upcoming version 2.

A workaround I found to at least work is to first call light.turn_on then adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control after with a 500ms (delays of 250ms cause only one light out of 2 to work) delay, and only then can I apply the scene. But this causes the lights to briefly flash white and after some delay they’re set to the desired color. I think either this request or #37 should be implemented to allow us to apply scenes without having to manually track the state of the main adaptive lighting switch.
