How to create a By-pass switch

  • First go to Settings / Devices & Services / click on the “Helpers” tab / click “+ CREATE HELPER” and select “Toggle”.
  • In the name area, enter a name that best suits you. For this example we will put “Bathroom Humidity Sensor By-pass”. Then click save.
  • Go back into the automation and in the “Humidity Derivative Sensor By-pass” search for the name you created, in our case “Bathroom Humidity Sensor By-pass”. Then click save.

How to add by-pass switch to a dashboard

  • In a “Dashboard” click “Edit dashboard” then click “+ ADD CARD” click on “Button” or “Entities” and in the entity field again search for the name (entity) you created in our case “Bathroom Humidity Sensor By-pass”. Then click save.
  • Then click “DONE”.

You now have a “Humidity Derivative Sensor By-pass” switch to disable the trigger sensor of your Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan automation.
