Version: 1.1

A very basic automation for a door sensor (or any binary sensor really) to active a light or a switch which will turn off after a certain delay if the door is left open.

blueprint:
  name: Door Sensor-activated Light/Switch With Delay
  description: >
    Version: 1.1

    Turn on/off a light or a switch when door is opened/closed and off after the door has been opened for a while.

Thanks for geat blueprint.
Is it possible to add run only if statment.
Example:
Run only if dayligt sensor is off or sun below horizon?

Hi Claes,

there could be surely done: I designed this blueprint for my specific use case which is a closet that sometimes is left open, but the door closet is the only source of light, so it didn’t make much sense to add a condition there.

Let me think about it!

I’m not sure if this would drop straight into the blueprint between trigger and action (you may want to adjust offsets), but it works for me in my regular automations…

condition:
  - condition: sun
    before: sunrise
    before_offset: "+01:00:00"
    after: sunset
    after_offset: "-02:00:00"
