Ability to execute two actions from one automation and two triggers

Configuration
1

Requesting the possibility of easily having one automation with two different triggers that execute two different actions.
For example, when a motion sensor starts detecting motion, it executes one type of action. However, when it stops detecting motion, it triggers a different type of action.

This setting will help reduce the number of automations and streamline functionality.

This is already possible. There are a few different ways to do, but one common method is to assign each trigger a Trigger ID then use a Choose action with Trigger conditions to branch your logic/actions.

There are currently a couple of ways to do this, mainly using trigger IDs, which are hidden in the GUI behind the trigger’s three-dot menu.

The easiest method is to use a IF or CHOOSE condition to run different actions based to the trigger.id value.

A more clever method for simpler actions looks like this:

alias: Turn on/off bedroom nightlight with sun
triggers:
  - id: turn_on
    event: sunset
    trigger: sun
  - id: turn_off
    event: sunrise
    trigger: sun
actions:
  - action: light.{{trigger.id}}
    data:
      entity_id: light.switch_nightlight
