FAQ - How Do I Use The Automation Link

This allows you to link your other automations so they will be automatically disabled. This is useful if you are using one of my other blueprints to control the lights, switches and or scenes in your bathroom and you would like to disable it when this automation is ON. It allows you to keep the bathroom lights ON when you are in the shower and your motion sensor is unable to detect motion.

If you are using my :bulb: Sensor Light blueprint to control your lights in the bathroom sometimes when you are in the shower the motion sensor can’t detect your movement (behind a shower screen or even glass) and your lights turn OFF when showering :pensive:. Using this option allows you to disable the sensor light blueprint while you are in the shower so the lights will stay ON :partying_face:. When you have finished and the falling humidity % has been achieved or the safe guards set time has passed you can set a separate time delay that allows you time to dry yourself before stepping out where the motion sensor can detect you again. It will then turn the “Automation Link - By-pass Control” OFF enabling your Sensor Light automation to function as per normal and your light will then turn OFF controlled by the sensor light automation :+1:
