Actually, this may be a bug report - I think my light (a lifx) is getting the exact color temp that f.lux is giving out, not warmer, even though I have it set to warmer.

Day= 6500K
Sunset & Bedtime = 4800K
7.30 am is my earliest wake time

Is it good?

We cannot say if it's good or bad because it's your personal feeling :)

@alex said in Feature Request: MQTT Support:

Bit late to the party, but I've only just got started with MQTT and automation.

If you're using Node-RED, you can use it to receive the data from f.lux with the built-in nodes.

I was inspired by this reddit thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/a6q8vl/looking_for_better_mqtt_integration/ejrgl2l/ - which discusses Tasker, but the pertinent information is the post which describes using Node-RED and the "http in" node.

f.lux uses HTTP POST to send "?ct=xxxx&bri=x.xxxxxx" (replacing "x" with appropriate values). For example, "Working Late" sends "?ct=6500&bri=0.800000", while "Cave Painting" sends "?ct=2300&bri=0.800000".

The appropriate Node-RED objects for them are "msg.req.query.ct" and "msg.req.query.bri".

Looks like the "bri" values are computer-dependent. One of my computers sends "0.800000", but the one next to it sends "0.275000". Still, Node-RED captures both quite happily.

Actually, now that I'm looking at it in more detail, I can't even adjust sunrise time... I can only adjust my earliest waking time. What I'd like is to actually set sunrise and sunset based upon the summer solstice, and keep those settings regardless of my time of year. So basically I want to have a custom sunrise and sunset time that never changes.

@anon-flux can you check if the feature "when the sun is up, dim lights with these names:" feature doesn't have names that match your lights? and of course, that the checkbox is off?

Did you find an answer?

Also do get our beta (about menu, restart).

We had some code in there that would try to match your screen dimming to the lights (which wasn't supposed to be in the build yet). It is out of the beta and should be more predictable now.

@mental05 . Im interested in how you have this set up. Do you have a tutorial posted?
