Example usage

Basics

Depends on config.yaml file present in working dir.

Example config:

# Location & max sun angle for artificial light
max_sun_angle: 3, # degrees over the horizon at which time light can be turned off as it's light-enough anyway, default 5
latitude: 60.025369
longitude: 17.669363

fake_noon_hour: 11 # Treat as mid-day, default: 11
hours_of_full_light: 10 # Determines how many hours around noon should have full light befor dimming starts, default: 11
minutes_of_sunrise: 120 # interval for dimming between 0 and 100% (both sunrise and sundown), default: 120

dimmer_step: 3 # default: 3
dimmer_controller: telldus # default: telldus
dimmer_max: 50 # Start dimming downwards from here. Although 100 is 100 (or "on"). Default: 100

telldus:
  dimmer_id: <your dimmer id as found api.telldus.com>

Apart from config you also need to configure oauth keys for telldus You can get yours here: http://api.telldus.com/keys/index Configured using environment variables:

TELLDUS_CONSUMER_KEY=
TELLDUS_CONSUMER_SECRET=
TELLDUS_ACCESS_TOKEN=
TELLDUS_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=
