Automation and retry to run it again

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have made an automation as below, this seems to work fine when watching TV it will not turn of light. Is there a way that It checks after awhile again and if tv is off it will turn off my lights?

- alias: "Lampa: Släck på kväll"
      hide_entity: True
      trigger:
        platform: time
        hours: 22
        minutes: 50
        seconds: 0
      condition:
        - condition: and
          conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: media_player.vardagsrum_tv
              state: 'off'
      action:
        service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: group.All_home, switch.entre_hall, group.No_home

Thanks!

Just add another automation. If HA can see the state of your TV then trigger off of your TV turning off.

Hi,

So I need to have the following separate Automation:

- alias: "Lampa: Släck på kväll TV OFF version"
      hide_entity: True
      trigger:
        platform: state
          - condition: state
              entity_id: media_player.vardagsrum_tv
              state: 'off'
      condition:
        - condition: and
          conditions:
            - condition: time
              hours: 22
              minutes: 50
              seconds: 0
      action:
        service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: group.All_home, switch.entre_hall, group.No_home

Isn’t there a possibility to nest it into existing Automation already?

Not that I am aware of as they have separate triggers.

The way you have your automation written now it will only work if you turn off your TV at 22:50. At no other time will it work. If you want it to only turn off the lights after a certain time, use the time function but with the after option. [ also you don’t need to use the and function in your conditions if you don’t have more than one condition]

- alias: "Lampa: Släck på kväll TV OFF version"
      hide_entity: True
      trigger:
        platform: state
          - condition: state
              entity_id: media_player.vardagsrum_tv
              state: 'off'
      condition:
        condition: time
          after: '22:50:00'
      action:
        service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: group.All_home, switch.entre_hall, group.No_home
