Decrease brightness during daylight? #1074

Description

In rooms with natural daylight, it really makes no sense to blast all lamps at full brightness during the day.

It would be nice to be able to lower the brightness while the sun is high, but still have the lamps ramp up to maximum brightness as the sun is setting. Basically, I want a brightness curve that is shaped something like an inverted W - low at night, low during the day, bright in between.

Alternatively / additionally, it would be nice if we could incorporate ambient lux sensors to perform this function - basically suppressing the light brightness while the lux curve is high.

I know that the Sensor Light blueprint has the ability to change the brightness based on the triggering conditions; but that one doesn't have the ability to then also lower the brightness during the evening / night!

Before I pull my hair out trying to recreate this simple functionality that e.g. Philips Hue has built in; it would be nice if this were somehow supported out of the box.

Maybe it would be possible somehow to have the light brightness tied to MIN(brightness from Sensor Light blueprint, brightness from Adaptive Lights)?
