FAQ - How to Use It in the :bulb: Sensor Light Blueprint

Once you have created the Bee In The Hive sensor, you have two options:

  1. Create a group using your motion sensor and template binary sensor.
    Use this group in the trigger of the Sensor Light automation. This method allows you to utilize all features of the Sensor Light Blueprint and is the recommended approach. However, you will need to create a template binary sensor manually, rather than using the blueprint.

    For instructions on how to do this, click here.

  2. Add the toggle helper (used in the blueprint) to Bypass Option 1.
    This will turn your light ON and keep it ON, but you won’t be able to use all the features in the Sensor Light Blueprint. It’s a quick and easy solution if you’re just turning a light ON and OFF without creating an additional group helper.
