Hello
How can i build a toggle switch to switch a automation on/off?
Here’s an example of mine using an input boolean as the toggle:
- alias: "Camera 2 Zone 4 Motion Detected"
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_number.times_motion_cam2_zone4_triggered
condition:
- condition: time
after: "07:00:00"
before: "19:00:00"
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.motion_detection_alerts
state: "on"
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.xiaomi_gateway_sound_amuse
- script.cam2_zone4_alert_sequence_notification
So we’re not turning the automation on or off, just adding a condition to when it can be triggered.
It’s the handiest way I reckon.
