I’ve been playing around with ha for about 4 months now and this is probably the most involved over complicated (likely unnecessarily haha) automation I’ve made to date.
Our house is a default toilet door closed scenario but we do have the odd issue with not knowing if it is currently occupied before trying the door handle and freaking out occupants (or is that just me heh)
I wanted to add a zigbee battery light to the door that turns on when the door is triggered twice and turns off once exited. I haven’t got a light yet, haven’t been shopping for it so at this point I was just testing the automation with the toilet button boolean
I made a counter helper with max of 2 step of 1
toilet button boolean(which would normally be the light that turns on) that the toilet occupied boolean helper turns on
So when the closed door gets opened it increases the counter, when closed, increases the counter, counter hits 2 and turns on the occupied boolean which then turns on the light and when exiting if the light is on then instead of increasing the counter, it decreases and when it hits 0 it turns off the occupied boolean which turns off the light (button)
Vid for any interested
