I’d like to run an action, if a series of events happen. This would seem natural to implement as an automation similar to the following:
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: event1
action:
- service: trigger
- platform:event
event_type: event2
timeout: '00:00:10'
- service: actual.service.to.run
I understand there is the wait_template, but this only works for states. I want to wait for an event. In my scheme it would actually be a sub-instance of the general idea:
- service: trigger
- platform: template
value_template: ...
As this would actually (to my understanding) be the most complex sub-instance, I guess it should be possible to allow also for the simpler cases of state or event triggers. Unfortunately, I looked at the code and I don’t understand how it works or whether it could be easily extended for my suggestion.
