Daylight Mode User Interactions

With a Daylight Mode curve configured, selected rooms, smart groups, or individual lights configured will follow the curve. However, interactions such as changing temperature or brightness of one or more lights can have an effect on whether the Daylight Mode will continue or be stopped:

After changes are made to the brightness of any light, the updated level of brightness remains constant until the level set in the Daylight Mode curve exceeds the manually changed level. This occurs whether the changes made are higher or lower than the brightness set in the curve. Below are a few examples:
