Light on when door opens, light off when door closes

Configuration
21

Thank you Glyyn, I am showing my inexperience sorry. when pasting your code into automation.yaml I am getting a lot of duplicated mapping key errors. I have other automations done using the GUI or blueprints, yours will be the first pasted. I have copied my automation.yaml as it is at the moment. anyone know what’s going on.

As you are used to using the GUI it should be relatively easy to add the two automations using that method instead of directly adding them to automations.yaml

23

For the sake of elegaance(!), I have combined these into a single automation.

Got it working…Thank you

25

No problem

26

Is there a way of setting a timeout when you first open the door, what I am finding is if my wife opens the door to clean or change toilet roll she does this without closing the door so when she is finished the automation thinks there is someone in the toilet and keeps the light on and next person to go into the toilet opens and shuts the door the automation now thinks there is no one in the toilet and turns light off. Hope this makes sense.

Is there a way round this ? Thanks for your help.

27

See the end of the automation I posted. I put in a delay and a light turn off as a default action just in case the door is left open.

It doesn’t seem to turn the light off…it wife goes in leaves door open to change toilet roll then closes door the light stays on. only thing i changed was the delay which i made 5 minutes.
