Hello everyone. I know these kinds of messages come up all the time but I usually try to figure things out for myself before asking in a forum, so here goes.
I have a Eufy Doorbell integration that I am trying to automate turning on a Merkury Innovations RGB light on the porch when it detects motion after a certain time of night. Currently, I am using the Global Motion Sensor entity in an automation to just try to simply turn on a light (just to see it work before adding a time condition) and I cannot for the life of me get it to function. The motion sensor state changes to ‘True’ if I step outside and trigger it but none of the automation functions. I can even manually trigger the automation myself and the light does indeed turn on so I am just imagining I am getting some config incorrect. Please help!
