Detailed investigations into light triggers

Post by siclark »

I have been planning for a while to rethink my overly complicated lighting setup in my kitchen that controls 5 different lights, some with colour temp capability, using occupancy, lux and time of day to set brightness and colour temperature using a few different plugins and a lot of triggers.
A comment on another thread got me to think about this again and ask Claude using the new MCP features including reading the indigo db directly to understand full trigger and schedule detail, not inferring from the logs.
Also having Apple Home control the colour temperature over Matter also helped a lot in simplifying the setup.

I was expecting its usual output in a few paragraphs but instead I got this

And then not only that, but it updated my auto lights json config file to create the zones and times etc to replace the trigger functionality that it could with auto lights.

The capability of Claude (other AI agent harnesses available) is now really incredible.. (sure I said that a few months ago as well).

Update your plugin to the latest to get the most up to date capability and instructions in the mcp server.
