Hi,
I have an automation to turn on some lights if a motion sensor detects motion - classic stuff.
I have added a condition, so that the lights only turn on, when they are already on, but below a certain brightness value.
The action part basically does a ‘turn on - delay 5 minutes - return lights to dimmed state’.
I want to keep the lights on while the motion detector continues detect motion, so I added a ‘mode: restart’ to the automation.
However, subsequent triggers of the automation seem to also evaluate the ‘conditions:’ part, which will return false when the lights are full on.
I would need to add a clause like “... or the automation is already running” to the conditions block.
Is there a way to detect that this specific automation is already running?
