I "force" my Day/Night:
Select Customized Scene >
Day > configure settings > Apply
Night>configure settings> Apply
Select Day/Night Switch > Apply
Timer settings can be set further down from the settings shown in the image in the previous post

When I first bought these and set them up I was using that way, but for a reason I can't remember, I stopped. I'll give it another try. Thanks
What do you mean when you say Select Day/Night Switch > Apply, editing the Time Plan Settings?

After you have set the Customized Scene settings, you must apply them for use in Day /Night Switch.
You can then use Time Plan Settings to set a time based schedule, if you choose
edit: When you click on Day/Night Switch, double check that your Day/Night settings that you set under Customized Scene are the same, then click Apply.

Have been using a LUX sensor to trigger a Dahua API to change day/night modes on a BI system for all cams. While time around sunrise/sunset works, LUX takes into account cloudy vs sunny conditions and switches modes based on light levels vs a preset time.
The mode change is only active during a window based on calculated local sunrise/sunset. The mode changes when a preset LUX value is reached. Works on both Web 4 and Web 5 Dahua cams.

What's the syntax to call the API for Day and Night. I could definitely do this. It's too bad the old Day/Night app doesn't work for the 54IRs. I used to use it and it was great for automating changing profiles.
For use with Hubitat the Zooz ZSE 11 works well for LUX data.
All, I ended up using the Day/Night Switch mode for handling the Day, Night profile changes. It’s working pretty well, but I do have a couple of cameras that are slow to change to color in the morning.
I’m assuming it’s because of shade at their locations. Is there a way to adjust the sensor setting so even on a shady morning, those two cameras use the Day profile? Thanks!

I’m using manual shutter 0-4 for my Day profile these two cameras. They have a view of the road where vehicles are going up to 40 mph.

I’ll give that a try later today and see how it works. That would be great if it would work like that. Thanks
