Automation logic question

Configuration
1

Hello, all.

HASS automation logic looks like this: Trigger-Conditions-Action.

Is it possible to do Trigger-Action1-Conditions-Action2 (if conditions are met)?

Thanks!

Can you give a bit more details? What is it you’re looking to do. I’m a little confused. I think I kind of know what you’re asking but would be better to be sure before answering wrong. haha

Sure. I have a motion sensor. I would like it to broadcast a voice message via TTS every time it is triggered. I would also like to turn on a light if it is after sunset and before sunrise.

I’m thinking I need a service_template incorporating if/else statements, but I’m still trying to find out how to set the sun conditions in the template. In an automation I do it like this:

condition:
  condition or:
  conditions:
    - condition: sun
      after: sunset
    - condition: sun
      before: sunrise

I don’t know how to do this in a template. Before and After sunset do not seem to be attributes exposed by the sun component.

you can add conditions to the action sections of automations:

alias: foo
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.motion
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: tts.google_say
      data:
        message: "Movement"
    - condition or:
      conditions:
        - condition: sun
          after: sunset
        - condition: sun
          before: sunrise
    - service: light.turn_on
      entity_id: light.my_night_light

Perfect! Thank you.
