Hey
Currently all my hue sensor / switch / scenes are setup in hue it’s self rather than HA but I’m thinking I want to move these over.
In our bathroom often have the issue when having a bath the motion sensor turns off the lights which is frustrating- but as it’s the bathroom the door is always closed when in use so am wondering if I could do something like:
Motion sensor detects motion = turn lights on
Think this would solve the bathroom issues I have without putting in something like an occupancy sensor or the like.
Anyone done anything like this - I assume should be fairy straight forward?
Thanks

I have this from a long time ago, probably needing some review/improvement, but as it is working rock solid I don’t touched since a while…

Note that I have 2 lights, so I use one as a backup in case the other one fails for some reason (very rarely). The ceiling light have a dimmer (Shelly) changing the brightness when someone opens the door and turns off after a few seconds.
I made a blueprint but it also controls a fan. You could modify it easily. I like to use timers, so you would need to create a couple of them.
I created this from an automation I have been using for awhile. Its not made in the traditional way most lighting automations are done. I prefer to use timers as they seem to be much more reliable especially if you are tinkering with automations alot. This method has proven to be pretty reliable in turning off the lights and fan.
This blueprint requires 2 sensors. A motion and a door/contact sensor.
It also requires 2 timers. One for the light and one for the fan.
It operates under the assump…

This is how I solved it.
#in binary_sensors.yaml
- platform: template
sensors:
toilet_occupancy:
friendly_name: Toilet occuoancy
device_class: occupancy
delay_off:
minutes: 2
value_template: >-
{{is_state('binary_sensor.adult_toilet_motion_sensor_occupancy', 'on') or is_state('binary_sensor.adult_toilet_door_sensor_contact', 'off')}}
There is also simple automation, Turn on or off lights when that sensor is on or off.
