I have a simple motion sensor automation set up that turns on a light for 1 minute when motion is detected (but only when its dark outside). However, when I am in that room at and turn on the light manually because I am doing a long task (rather than quickly going in to grab something from storage), my automations keep turning the light off (and on when the motion sensor is triggered). I want the light to stay on when I turn it on manually.
Another problem I can see emerging in the near future as the number of automations in my system increases is that automations start to interfere with each other. E.g. an automation triggered by a certain light sensor value might get incorrectly triggered ebcause another automation switched on the light in that room. (possibly a bad example).
Is there a built in way to deal with this? Do you have any advise or guidelines about how to avoid these problems?
