Considering getting a trimlight system

[davebeiler]

Could this be integrated into home-assistant.io (it uses python)

Also does this use all local control? IE no cloud based connection required?

It could be integrated with any number of Home Automation services. I just call the module while running a rule in openHAB (similar to home assistant) as it accomplishes what I want pretty well. I won't personally be making any integrations like that but the core API provided here is public and anyone can use it to do so.

It uses all local control, yes. No cloud connection is required or anything like that, as long as it can connect to the network your Trimlight is on it will work.

Thanks for the quick response! Could you share a screenshot how you do it?

My personal openHAB EMCAScript(JavaScript) script that is run when triggered by my local sundown looks like this:

var Ephemeris = Java.type("org.openhab.core.model.script.actions.Ephemeris");
var Exec = Java.type("org.openhab.core.model.script.actions.Exec");
var logger = Java.type("org.slf4j.LoggerFactory").getLogger("org.openhab.rule." + ctx.ruleUID);
var now = new Date();

var pattern = "DEFAULT";
if (now.getMonth() == 10) {
  pattern = "HALLOWEEN";
} else if (now.getMonth() == 11) {
  pattern = "THANKSGIVING";
  if (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("THANKSGIVING") > Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("CHRISTMAS")) {
    pattern = "CHRISTMAS";
  }
} else if (now.getMonth() == 12) {
  pattern = "CHRISTMAS";
}
if ((Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("NEW_YEAR") <= 1) || (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("NEW_YEAR") >= 360)) {
  pattern = "NEW_YEAR";
} else if ((Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("ST_PATRICK", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") <= 3) || (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("ST_PATRICK", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") >= 363)) {
  pattern = "ST_PATRICK";
} else if ((Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("MOTHERS_DAY", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") <= 3) || (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("MOTHERS_DAY", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") >= 363)) {
  pattern = "MOTHERS_DAY";
} else if ((Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("INDEPENDENCE_DAY") <= 3) || (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("INDEPENDENCE_DAY") >= 363)) {
  pattern = "INDEPENDENCE_DAY";
} else if ((Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("ST_VALENTINE", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") <= 3) || (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("ST_VALENTINE", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") >= 363)) {
  pattern = "ST_VALENTINE";
} else if ((Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("christian.EASTER", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") <= 3) || (Ephemeris.getDaysUntil("christian.EASTER", "/etc/openhab/services/events.xml") >= 363)) {
  pattern = "10";  // Easter does not have a built-in name
}

logger.info("Trimlight changed to mode: manual, and pattern: " + pattern);
Exec.executeCommandLine("python3", "-m", "TrimPy", "--ip", "123.456.789.0", "--mode", "manual", "--pattern", pattern);

If you use openHAB yours could look very similar, but I'm not sure what an HA rule to do this would look like.
