Thanks! I missed that. Just to confirm, setting option “2 - Enable the bypass - Turn the fan, lights & automation link OFF,” and selecting my binary sensor, will disable the automation when the binary sensor is On. Is this correct?
No problem. There is a lot in it and I understand it can be confusing.
Yes
Every bypass option will disable the automation. The options are only for what you would like to happen when your turn the entity (your binary sensor) ON.
Option 2 will turn everything OFF
Option 1 will turn everything ON
and Option3 will keep everything as is when the entity is turned ON.
You get to choose what you would like to do. Because you indicated I don’t want the automation to fire whenever a certain binary sensor is “true.” I assume you would like it OFF. So if it is running and you turn the entity ON it will turn everything OFF and disable the automation.

Does anyone know how I can use an MQTT action(?) to trigger act as the manual switch?
Before setting up this blueprint I had it set up as follows with an automation:
But the “double_center” action doesn’t show up in the manual trigger section, I guess because it isn’t a switch or a boolean?
I’m using the Aqara W100 connected via Zigbee.
@Blacky, first off thanks for this blueprint! I just came from Homey (which died forcing me to finally take the plunge) and these blueprints make life much easier!
I do have a question and maybe my lack of deep knowledge in Home Assistant keeps me from answering it myself but (or finding the anser in the 3+ years of posts)
We’ve got a fan system in the house which serves not only for getting rid of moisture in the bathrooms and smells from the toilet but also to just keep the air in the house fresh. This means that the fan is actually never “off”, for me “Off” would mean that the fan runs at “20%” but the fan is also so powerfull that “100%” is often (especially in summer) not required and just ends up making more noise than required on the top floor where it’s located so my previous “Homey setting” was running it at 60/70%.
Is there an option to set the speed instead of turning it on/off in both cases?
Sorry loks like I missed this one. You are using an event as a trigger and it need to have an ON / OFF state. I wish manufactures would provide an ON / OFF state or at least an option to have it… double tap = ON double tap = OFF. This way we wouldn’t need to do anything. You try and create a toggle helper and toggle that helper ON and OFF when you double tap. You then use that helper in the blueprint. If your not sure how to create a template binary sensor then you can try this blueprint Press Button - Turn ON & OFF Entities.

Welcome to the HA community.
Your welcome… I am glad you taken the plunge for Homey to Home Assistant and in doing so my blueprint have helped you.
Yes, the way we do it is in Fan section. In the Fan Speed - Switch Off you enter in the entity that will turn your fan to 20%. If you don’t have this entity then you create a script that turns your fan ON to 20% and select the script. Once you done that in Default - Summer Mode and also in Winter Mode you will see an option Use The Fan Speed Options In there you can select 2 options depending if your also going to use the Fan Speed - Low Speed Switch option in Fan. If you just using the Fan Speed - Switch Off option then select option 2 in Use The Fan Speed Options. If you going to also use the Fan Speed - Low Speed Switch then select option 1 in Use The Fan Speed Options.
Now when the automation finishes it will turn your fan ON to 20%. Just because it says OFF in Fan Speed - Switch Off you can use this to run your fan at 20%. Confusing I know but hopefully this has helped you. Maybe I should update the description so it is clearer.
Let us know how you go.
