Hello,
I’m writing this post because i would like to know if the solution that I’ve done in order to solve my problem is right.
Problem:
I have 1 motion sensor and 1 light, I would like to turn on the light if there is a movement and keep the light on if there were motions in the last 10 seconds.
Sensor:
The motion sensor use a mqtt server to push the updates (‘motion’, ‘no motion’) the no motion is pushed by the sensor only after 1 minute of no motion, the motion is pushed every time there is a motion.
I’ve configured two motion sensor that report the data from one phisical motion sensor, one is used to trigger the automation and the other one is used to check if there were motions in the last 10 seconds.
Implementation:
The automation is implemented like this:
- alias: ‘Rule 5 - Luci Cameretta ON’
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.cameretta
state: ‘on’
condition:
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: time
after: “16:30:00”
before: “21:00:00”
- condition: state
entity_id: ‘switch.autoluci’
state: ‘off’
action:
- service: light.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: light.soffitto
brightness: >
{% if now().strftime(“%-H”) | int > 14 and now().strftime(“%-H”) | int < 19 %}254{% else %}4{% endif %}- service: switch.turn_on
data:
entity_id: switch.autoluci- delay:
seconds: 1- service: mqtt.publish
data:
payload: “no_motion”
topic: “xiaomi/motion/158d00011733a1/status”- service: light.turn_off
data:
entity_id: switch.autoluci
The swith template autoluci is implemented like this:
- platform: template
switches:
autoluci:
friendly_name: ‘Automazione Luci’
value_template: ‘{{ is_state(“light.soffitto”, “on”) }}’
turn_on:
service: autolight_service.trigger
turn_off:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.soffitto
And the autolight_service is a custom component implemented below:
The domain of your component. Should be equal to the name of your component.
import time
import logging
import os
import homeassistant.components as core
DOMAIN = ‘autolight_service’
TARGET_SENSOR = ‘binary_sensor.camerettaauto’
TARGET_SENSOR_MAIN = ‘binary_sensor.cameretta’
TARGET_GROUP = ‘light.soffitto’
Shortcut for the logger
_LOGGER = logging.getLogger(name)
def setup(hass, config):
“”“Setup is called when Home Assistant is loading our component.”“”
def handle_trigger_autolight(call):
if not TARGET_SENSOR: _LOGGER.info('No sensor found') return can_tun_off = False while not can_tun_off: _LOGGER.info(hass.states.get(TARGET_SENSOR).state) if hass.states.get(TARGET_SENSOR).state == 'on': hass.states.set(TARGET_SENSOR, 'off') else: _LOGGER.info('No motion..') _LOGGER.info('Wait for 10 secs') time.sleep(10)
if not (hass.states.get(TARGET_SENSOR).state == 'on'): _LOGGER.info('No motion turn all off and reset the motion main sensor state') core.turn_off(hass, TARGET_GROUP) hass.states.set(TARGET_SENSOR_MAIN, 'off') can_tun_off = True
hass.services.register(DOMAIN, 'trigger', handle_trigger_autolight) _LOGGER.info('Auto Light registered')
return True
This automation/configuration works like a charm but I would like to know if is the right/simplest way in order to solve this problem.
Thank you
