Thanks, works great.
Saves me the trouble of poking around in the motion activated light blueprint to change β€œlight” into β€œswitch” on the correct location.
Since all my non-dimmable lights are presented as switches in Home Assistant this is a very useful blueprint that should be added to the repository.
