Automations problems

Configuration
1

Hi everyone I´m very new to all of these, and I´m working on my first automations, I have some already running but I have two of them that I´ve already tried to do a lot and it doesn´t work at all, first is a automation that turn on the tv when I arrive at home and my phone is detected by my router, but I´m trying to put a condition to not turn on when it´s already on, otherwise if I left the network for some reason it switch again and turn it off, here´s my confi.yaml:

alias: turn on tv when arrive at home
trigger:

  • entity_id: device_tracker.2c4d54de5ed3
    from: not_home
    platform: state
    to: home
    condition:
  • condition: state
    entity_id: switch.tv
    state: ‘off’
    action:
  • data:
    entity_id: switch.tv
    service: switch.turn_on
    The second is to not turn off my led in my motion detected when I arrive home:
- id: '1530727435325'
  alias: Turn off motion sensor when at home
  trigger:
  - entity_id: device_tracker.2c4d54de5ed3
    from: Not home
    platform: state
    to: Home
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      Entity_id: automation_d1_motion_on
    service: automation.turn_off

tks very much

- alias: "description"
  trigger:
    platform: state
    from: 'not_home'
    to: 'home'
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: switch.tv
    state: 'off'
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.tv

- alias: "Turn off motion sensor"
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: device_tracker.2c4d54de5ed3
    from: 'not_home'
    to: 'home'
  action:
    service: automation.turn_off
    entity_id: automation.d1_motion_on

You don’t need a condition if there is no condition.

3

The condition should be only turn on if its off, otherwise would switch again and turn off while somebody is watching

4

Is your tv smart? Can you see the TV switch state in HA?

5

yes it is smart but couldn´t find support for homeassistant yet is a old LG and it doesn´t work with neither webos or netcast.

I´m using broadlink as a ir sender so doesn´t state if it´s on or off.

6

You’ll need a way to detect the TV being on if you want to add that condition. From the sounds of it, you don’t have that?

7

Only have switches in homeassistant, if my switch state is already on at homeassistant shouldn´t be possible to work on that automation ?

8

So if it connects to your wifi you can create a binary sensor like this:

- platform: command_line
  scan_interval: 5
  name: living_tv
  command: ping -W 1 -c 1 tvip > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo success || echo false
  device_class: connectivity
  payload_on: "success"
  payload_off: "false"

you can then use it as a condition in your automation.

Ohhh I didn´t know this component, very noobie to all of these, tks will try today and give you a feedback.

Quick question is the automation correct? and what about my motion automation what did I do wrong?

10

on the tv automation replace in the condition section the switch.tv for this sensor which in this specific example would be called binary_sensor.living_tv

the motion sensor if I understand correctly, will turn off an automation called automation.d1_motion_on
when the device changes to home

11

about the motion automation for some reason it´s not turning off my other atumation don´t know if the error is on the zone home and not home ?

12

the trigger seems ok. try homeassistant.turn_off instead of automation.turn_off

13

when I trigged manually it worked, but I think something is wrong with the trigger, because I´m off my netwrok and even though is still runnning

14

it worked, don´t know what I did but it seems that using the internal automation tools in hassio is making mistakes so I rewrote in config.yaml and worked, also was great abou the binary sensor tks very much
