I am trying to wrap my head around using Easytrigger to maintain a constant lux value in our TV room if the TV is on. The trigger would be comparing a device that reports the lux value in the room to a "constant lux value" and makes a decision to either increase the percentage of the room lights or decrease it. Thus far, my attempts seem to return an error based on string vs. integer.

Spitballing a bit here, but maybe this would work?
IF Repeating trigger every X seconds
AND IF TV is on
AND IF dimmer > 0
AND IF dimmer < 100 (or whatever max dim value is)
THEN Set dimmer to expression: if (lux_val > lux_constant, $DEVICEVALUE - 1, (if (lux_val < lux_constant, $DEVICEVALUE + 1, $DEVICEVALUE))
And check option: “Send command only if expression results in a new value”.
edit: changed last argument in expression from 0 to $DEVICEVALUE.-Wade
