Hello,
Been using Home Assistant for a bit now and have been able to answer all my questions with some Googleing up to this point.
Here is my problem:
I have an automation setup (“Lights When Home”) so that if either me or my wife are home and the lux value (light sensor) is at or below a certain level, the specified scene (“Inside Lights - HOME”) is activated.
That part works ok but the problem I’m having is that I have a “Goodnight” scene setup so that when we go to bed, we activate it from the dashboard to turn specific lights off, lock the doors, etc. However, with the aforementioned automation setup, the lights just end up turning back on because the conditions (we’re home and the light level is low) is still true.
I think that what I need is a way to tell Home Assistant to ignore an automation if a specific scene is called. Maybe, if the “Goodnight” scene is called it ignores the “Lights When Home” automation until sun up, or a specific time, or until a specific scene is called.
I’ve played around with a few iterations, including with Node-RED, and lots of searching but have not been able to come up with anything that seems to work.
Any advice is appreciated.
