Circadian lighting in a diverse home automation system

A home automation system for providing circadian lighting, comprising:

• a control application (app) executing on a control device configured to provide a user interface arranged to receive user selections of a color temperature and an intensity that define a circadian lighting curve;
• an outdoor sensor configured to determine current color temperature and intensity of lighting in an outdoor environment;
• and
• a host controller in communication with the control device and the outdoor sensor and configured to calculate an optimal color temperature and intensity by combining a color temperature and intensity from the circadian lighting curve and the current color temperature and intensity of lighting in the outdoor environment, and convert the optimal color temperature and intensity into individual sets of lighting commands that control individual lighting devices of a room.

A non-transitory electronic device readable medium having software stored thereon that when executed by one or more electronic devices is operable to:

• receive user selections of color temperature and intensity for a structure having a plurality of rooms that define a circadian lighting curve;
• receive a user selection of a room of the plurality of rooms in which to activate circadian lighting;
• calculate an optimal color temperature and dimming value by combining color temperature and intensity from the circadian lighting curve and the current color temperature and intensity of lighting from a sensor, wherein the optimal color temperature and dimming value differs from the color temperature and intensity from the circadian lighting curve;
• and
• convert the optimal color temperature and dimming value into individual sets of lighting commands that control individual lighting devices of the room.
