Bathroom Automation

Configuration Zigbee

Hi There,

I am trying to create an automation / script that:

If the door sensor state is closed, Turn on the light if the humidity rises 2% or more within 3 minutes if fan (light) is already on, keep on while humidity is higher than 80% but not exceeding 1h off running time. if the fan (light) is on for 1 hour, it will sleep for 1 hour before turning it on again.

also, it will turn on the fan (light) for 10 minutes if the door sensor is closed for 5 minutes even if the humidity doesn’t change

This automation will never excide the fan (light) run time more than 1 hour

  • apologies my fan entity is set as “light”

I keep getting the error below, and not sure why. can someone please help?

An automation can only have one trigger section and one action section.

your automation has multiple of each section.

you will need to rethink your logic so it can all be done in one automation with multiple triggers under the trigger section and then use “choose:” to determine which actions are run based on which trigger fired the automation or use multiple automations with different triggers and actions for each.

EDIT:

on second look it looks like you just need to remove the:

description: "Guest Bathroom"
mode: single

from the top and then you will have multiple automations already. And you may need to adjust your indentation as well.

thank you. I’ve changed a few things around. (not tested yet). but no error:
