Hi, I have this set of two automatons that work and i have another 6 sets of similar ones. They take up a lot of space and i was wondering if it was possible to combine each set into 1 automation. #Turns on landing lights when motion - alias: Landing light motion on trigger: platform: …

- alias: Landing light motion on and off trigger: - platform: state entity_id: binary_sensor.landing_motion to: 'on' - platform: state entity_id: binary_sensor.landing_motion to: 'off' for: minutes: 2 action: - service_template: "light.turn…

[image] Eeeeeediot: i have another 6 sets of similar ones Is there any uniformity in how they are named? For example, you have landing_motion and landing_light. They have ‘landing_’ in common. Do the others share this format where a common word precedes either motion or light (separated by an…

so i have these other sets of automation’s. im assuming i could combine the 1st group into 1 automation as you suggest but no idea how to do it. 1st group #Landing motion light - alias: Landing light motion trigger: - platform: state entity_id: binary_sensor.landing_motion to…

There’s not much commonality in the way the entities are named so the idea I had in mind won’t work.

@pnbruckner @123 do you know if there is any documentation/guides on how to combine automation for beginners? Also, i have these automation to run different services on my beside light depends on they type of button push. is there anyway to combine them? #' Zigbee2MQTT bedrooom buttons automation…

[image] Eeeeeediot: do you know if there is any documentation/guides on how to combine automation for beginners? Not that I’m aware of. You just have to read the docs, experiment, etc. Try this: #' Zigbee2MQTT bedrooom buttons automation - alias: Single/Quad/Long Click x hide_entity: …

Thank you - much better. I’v been trying to learn. You managed to condense my original post from 2 automation to 1 but i should have said i has 2 other sets of 2 automation for 2 different rooms doing the same things. would the following 2 automatons work to turn on/off the lights independently in …

Close, but not really. trigger.entity_id is the entity_id of the entity that caused the automation to trigger. But those are binary_sensor’s, not lights. So you’d be trying to use the light turn_on/turn_off services to turn binary_sensors on or off, which of course would not work. Given what you pr…

[image] pnbruckner: What would make it much easier is if you changed light.landing_light to light.landing There’s the approach I had in mind. :+1: If there’s uniformity and commonality in the naming of motion sensors and corresponding lights, a template can easily parse their names (without …
