🌟 Lightwand v2.2.0 Release Notes

New Feature: Configurable Motion Lights in Light Modes

Control over how your lights react to motion in different light modes!

What's New

Now you can define custom motion light behaviors for each light mode, moving beyond the default automagical approach. This gives you complete flexibility to create different lighting scenarios:

• Automation-based motion lights: Define specific automations that control motion response
• Light property-based motion lights: Configure detailed light properties for motion reactions

Configuration Example

Here's how you can set up custom motion lights in your light mode configuration:

light_modes:
  - mode: night
    automations:
      - time: '00:00:00'
      - time: '03:00:00'
        state: turn_off
      - time: '23:00:00'
    motionlights:
      - time: '00:00:00'
        light_data:
          brightness: 5
          transition: 3
      - time: '06:00:00'
        light_data:
          brightness: 15
          transition: 3

Key Benefits

• ⚡ Fine-grained control: Specify exact brightness levels and transition times
• 🎯 Mode-specific behavior: Each light mode can have its own unique motion response

Use Cases

Perfect for creating sophisticated lighting scenes like:

• Gradual nightlights that activate differently before and after sunrise
• Custom wake-up sequences with motion-triggered lighting
• Time-based motion response for energy efficiency
• Different ambient lighting preferences per mode

Technical Details

This release closes #43 and includes detailed documentation for both automation and light property-based motion light configurations.

Thanks to @whirlfire for the suggestion and how to configure it!
