Dual Presence Sensors Light Control (Avoid Pet False Positives) with Illuminance

Blueprints Exchange
1

Hi everyone,
I created this blueprint to solve a classic smart home issue: false positives caused by pets (cats/dogs) triggering motion sensors, or lights turning off too early.
By combining two different sensors (e.g., a fast-reacting PIR motion sensor and a mmWave human presence sensor), we ensure the lights only trigger when it's highly likely a human is in the room.
How it works:

  • Turn on: Triggers when the first sensor detects motion, but only if the second sensor also confirms presence, the illuminance (lux) is below your defined threshold, and at least one configured person is at home.

  • Turn off: Triggers when the second sensor clears (off) for 30 seconds, and double-checks that the first sensor is also off before turning off the lights to prevent pet-only triggers or accidental blackouts.

  description: "Prevents pet-induced false positives by requiring two different presence/motion sensors to match. It also checks if illuminance is below a threshold and if someone is home before turning on the light."
