Is there a way to have ALL conditions met in automation, not "Test if any of 5 conditions matches"

1

I have a automation for lights, It dims when watching movie, turns on backlight of TV etc, BUT when someone moves the sensor triggers full lights, looking into the automation I noticed at the top it says

Test if any of 5 conditions matches

I would want all 5 conditions met, not any of the 5. Is there a way to get all conditions to be met before triggering the lights on full?

Cheers

Conditions are always using an AND logic, so it only starts the automation if all the conditions are met.

If that is not happening, why don’t you share your code so we can take a look and understand what is happening?

OK, then you probably have an OR condition there… You just have to remove that OR.

Again, share the code and I will try to help.

Thank You, there is a ‘or’ on line 10. remove that? or replace it with ‘and’? (aplogies formatting got bit messed up in the paste)

Removed ‘or’ and replaced with ‘and’ and it looks like it is working. Thank you so much.

Good to hear that.

You probably could replace those two conditions by a “below horizon” or, even better, in my opinion, use sun angle (usually you have quite good light on external areas when the Sun is higher than -6° from the horizon, even if it’s before sunrise or after sunset - and angle, even if you use a positive one, will adapt better to the different seasons when compared to the 15min).

Is this correct? It won’t allow the automation to run unless you have movimento for more than 2min 30sec. If you have movement for only 2min it won’t work…

I put that in when couldn’t find answer and though by delaying the trigger it might help, I have reset it since, Your solution worked and will do sun horizon. Thank you again.
