Hi,
I have several automations that alert me of intruders via PIR sensors. To reduce false alarms I have added a 10 minute delay. I achieved this by turning off the automation then turning it back on, like this:
- alias: Dakota Left Side of Unit 1
initial_state: true
trigger:
- entity_id: sensor.left_unit_1_sensor
platform: state
to: 'ON'
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_bens_iphone
data:
title: "Yard Alert"
message: "Motion LEFT side of Unit 1"
- service: automation.turn_off
entity_id: automation.dakota_left_side_of_unit_1
- delay: 00:10:00
- service: automation.turn_on
entity_id: automation.dakota_left_side_of_unit_1
This has worked fine for years, but has recently stopped turning the automations back on once they’ve been triggered once. I have tried adding initial_state: true, but this does not help.
Does anyone have any ideas. I can’t see anything in the logs.
Thanks,
Ben
