Home Assistant Scripts & Automations

This repository contains custom scripts and automation configurations for my Home Assistant instance.

Contents

1. Automation: Kitchen Light Switch (ikea_e2001_e2002_switch_to_light_automation.yml)

Configures the IKEA E2001/E2002 Zigbee switch to control the kitchen counter LEDs.

• Blueprint: Uses EPMatt/ikea_e2001_e2002.yaml.
• Features:
  • Short Press (Up/Down): Turns lights On/Off AND toggles the motion sensor automation (automation.kitchen_worktop_switch_light_on_motion).
  • Long Press (Up/Down): Dimming (Brightness +/-).
  • Long Press (Left/Right): Color Temperature (Warm/Cool).
  • Short Press (Left/Right): Step Color Temperature.

2. Automation: Kitchen Motion Sensor (kitchen_worktop_motion_automation.yml)

Controls the kitchen counter LEDs based on motion and illuminance.

• Blueprint: Uses ArkadyGamza/motion_illuminance_activated_entity.yaml (Looks like your custom blueprint!).
• Triggers:
  • Motion: binary_sensor.kitchen_motion_light_sensor_occupancy
  • Illuminance: sensor.kitchen_motion_light_sensor_illuminance
• Target: light.kitchen_counter_led

3. Helper Scripts (scripts.yml)

Contains 4 helper scripts used by the automation above to handle smooth transitions for brightness and color temperature:

• light_increase_brightness / light_decrease_brightness
• light_increase_color_temp / light_decrease_color_temp

4. Blueprints (blueprints/)

Contains the blueprints referenced by the automations:

• blueprints/automation/EPMatt/ikea_e2001_e2002.yaml: The IKEA switch controller blueprint.
• blueprints/automation/ArkadyGamza/motion_illuminance_activated_entity.yaml: Custom motion & illuminance logic.
• blueprints/automation/ArkadyGamza/match-color-temp-kelvin.yaml: Adaptive lighting helper.

Deployment

The repository files correspond to entries in your Home Assistant configuration files.

Deploying Changes

You can deploy changes by copying the content to your Home Assistant server via SSH.

Prerequisites:

• SSH access to Home Assistant (e.g., via "Terminal & SSH" add-on).
• User: hassio (or configured user).

Steps:

1. Backup current config (optional but recommended):

   cp /config/automations.yaml /config/automations.yaml.bak
   cp /config/scripts.yaml /config/scripts.yaml.bak

2. Update Automations:

   • Open /config/automations.yaml on the server.
   • Find the automation block with ID 1713265076593.
   • Replace it with the content of ikea_e2001_e2002_switch_to_light_automation.yml.

3. Update Scripts:

   • Open /config/scripts.yaml on the server.
   • Update the definitions for light_increase_brightness, etc., with the content from scripts.yml.

4. Reload Configuration:

   • In Home Assistant UI: Developer Tools -> YAML -> Reload Automations (and Reload Scripts).
