[ishairevach]

Automatically turn a light on when a door opens and off when it closes — perfect for small closets, cabinets, or 3D printer enclosures.

Description

This blueprint links a binary door sensor to a light entity. When the door is opened, the light turns on. When the door is closed, the light turns off.

How It Was Made

I created this blueprint with the help of ChatGPT, which guided me step by step — from writing the YAML code to publishing it on GitHub and formatting this post. It’s a great tool for learning and creating useful automations, even if you’re new to YAML or GitHub.

Requirements

• A binary_sensor with device_class: door
• A light entity (e.g., smart bulb, LED strip)

---

Inputs

• Door Sensor – The binary sensor on your closet/cabinet door
• Closet Light – The light to control when the door is opened/closed

I know it’s your first post and all, but maybe ChatGPT should have told you identical Blueprints already exist. These are the first 3 I found in less than a minute:

Door Sensor - Turn on/off Light

I changed the default motion sensor blueprint to match door sensors! Turn on porch-, -garage or door lights when door opens. Leave it on for X seconds after closing the door.

Wardrobe light with two door sensors

[Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.] This is a blueprint to get two door sensors to operate a light inside a wardrobe. Opening either door turns on the light, and when both doors close the light turns off. The light also turns off after a user configurable delay after opening. This blueprint expects two door sensors and a light entity. I’ve found that a generic “Opening” window can be set to be a door sensor. blueprint…
