Add ability to have kelvin turn off a light during a schedule about kelvin HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,
this sounds like a reasonable request. We would have to change the semantics of the configuration file though and provide a migration for existing ones.

I suppose we could change the "ignore value" from 0 to -1 to allow 0 as an valid brightness value which will turn the light off (the minimum allowed value for brightness is actually 1).

One potential pitfall might be automatically switching off users lights for the first time but never turning them on automatically... what do you think?

I think this would work!

I hadn't thought of that... I think that this is okay though, so long as it's put in the documentation that once a light goes off Kelvin stops controlling it until it is turned back on. At least for me, this would be intended. I have tons of lights in one room and I love how Kelvin dims them as the night moves on, but to get the room even dimmer I'd like for some to turn off. Although I can't imagine a scenario when I would want this function, it could be rectified by including a feature similar to alarms in the standard hue app, where you program lights to turn on at a certain time.

Alright, sound good to me.

I'm quite busy right now, but will try to give it a shoot in the next few days.

Just pushed a fix for the issue to master. I will test the new functionality over the next few days in my house. If it works as expected I will publish a new release.

Give it a try if you like!

Fixed in version 1.0.4
