FAQ - How to use it with the Sensor Light Blueprint
This allows you to use the same light switch in Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts to manually bypass your automation.
Important Note:
If the light has been turned ON by automation, you will need to turn it OFF and back ON for it to register the manual control.
Steps:
-
In this blueprint, enter the same light (light switch) used in the Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts input of the Sensor Light Blueprint into Target Entities To Track.
-
Create a toggle helper and select it in Manual Control Status - Toggle Helper.
See below for an example:
Here’s the Sensor Light Blueprint setup:
-
- In your Sensor Light Blueprint’s automation, go to the bypass section and enable 3 - Enable the Bypass - Keep the light’s current state. Then, enter the toggle helper used in the Manual Control Status Tracker blueprint into Option 3 of the bypass section.
Now, you can use the same light switch in your Sensor Light blueprint. When you manually turn ON the light, it will activate the toggle helper, which in turn triggers the bypass. Remember, you will need to manually turn OFF the light or use the auto OFF feature.
Enjoy
