thanpolas / motion-illuminance-v2.yaml
Last active August 27, 2023 13:06
Home Assistant Blueprint for automation that triggers on motion. Taking Illuminance and lights state as criteria for triggering
blueprint:
name: Motion-activated Light with illuminance v2
description: Turn on a light when motion is detected and illuminance is below a
set Lux level. Will use a configured scene instead of the previous light
setting and will not trigger when the lights are already on to avoid
overriding user defined lighting (i.e. you've set the lights to a certain
scene, this automation should not override this).
This automation is based on the work of Danielbook
https://gist.github.com/Danielbook/7814e7eb32e880b2d7c3fb5ba8430f4f
Blueprint version 1.0.0

In the absence of CORS support the Hidden Iframe technique is the only way to submit a big amount of data (over 2kb that jsonp can handle).
/**
* @fileOverview Hidden iFrame implementation for browsers without CORS.
*
* Usage:
* var iframe = new Iframe();
* iframe.submit(url, {data: yourData}, function(err) {});
*
* The server will get a POST request on the defined URL with the data
* JSON encoded in the body attribute named "data".
