Tunable White template - Wiser for KNX
#1
Hi,

Is there any template for tunable white thats based on time and location?
I want the color temperature of the luminaries to follow the outdoor temperature depending on time and season.

Some sort of astronomical function.

Is this possible?

You can do simple linear transition between min/max temperature based on current time relative to sunrise/sunset.
Code:
-- minimum/maximum color temperature tmin = 2700 tmax = 5000 -- device coordinates latitude = 0 longitude = 0 sunrise, sunset = rscalc(latitude, longitude) date = os.date('*t') now = date.hour * 60 + date.min now = math.max(now, sunrise) now = math.min(now, sunset) pos = (now - sunrise) / (sunset - sunrise) color = math.floor(tmin + (tmax - tmin) * (1 - pos)) grp.checkupdate('1/1/1', color)

Made some adjustments. Now it gets true midday and goes from sunset to midday (min-max) and midday to sunset (max-min), because temperature function should be a parabola.

Code:
-- minimum/maximum color temperature tmin = 2700 tmax = 5800 -- device coordinates latitude = 0 longitude = 0 sunrise, sunset = rscalc(latitude, longitude) midday = (sunset + sunrise) / 2 date = os.date('*t') now = date.hour * 60 + date.min now = math.max(now, sunrise) now = math.min(now, sunset) if (now < midday) then     pos = (now - sunrise) / (midday - sunrise)     color = math.floor(tmin + (tmax - tmin) * (pos)) else     pos = (now - midday) / (sunset - midday)     color = math.floor(tmin + (tmax - tmin) * (1 - pos)) end grp.checkupdate('1/1/1', color)
