Ac with door open

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi there I Want to automate my ac I have door sensor and my question is if my ac is on and I open balcony door to (it turns off the ac) do something on balcony for 5 to 10 min and come in I want it to turn on automatically…
I did manage to set up new automation but thing is whenever I close the door it turns on… I was wondering if there is a way to check if ac was turned on before the door was opened so when I close the door it continues on the previous settings

Please post your current automation’s YAML. (Please donor using the </> Preformatted Text option.)

Yes, add a condition to the action that the A/C is turned on. The action to turn the A/C on, when the door is closed, will only trigger if the A/C is already on.

No need to write your automation from scratch. Someone already wrote a blueprint you can use.
