Tips and tricks about winhue HOT 5 OPEN

Hello.

Im using some Dimmer Switches and always create 2 additional rules.

The first: push and hold on, immediately full bright.

The second: push and hold off, turn on but at low light.

The rules are in the bottom on this post.

My questien are, how can I'll make these rules fire with 2 differend sensors? In my livingroom I'll have 2 dimmers - one at each end and they are used in the same way with identical rules.

For make space for new dimmer switched and day/night rules I'll need to remove some of the old ones, therefor is it possible to combine several sensors in one rule with an "Or" command?

Best regards

Christian

Ok I interpereted the message as a question rather than a trick. No problem to leave it there then.

My tip is to use the “Daylight” sensor to improve the operation of motion controlled lights, or to control lights that need to come on at dusk etc.
The hub has a built-in sensor called “Daylight” which sets “Daylight: true” between sunrise and sunset.
Using this in place of, or in conjunction with, the ambient light level will improve the operation of motion controlled lights.
HOWEVER, to use this sensor you must configure it with your latitude and longitude so that it knows when the sun rises or sets at your location.
Once configured, there is a “configured: true” flag set but you can not read back your lat/long values for security reasons so if your rules are not working at the right times you need to reconfigure and try again.
