Motion activated lights automation problem after HA reboot

Configuration

10

I rebooted HA when automation was running and lamp was on and never goes off. I activated automation with motion sensor and it’s still running.

It stuck at waiting for 1 trigger:

  - wait_for_trigger:
      - entity_id:
          - binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_motion_aq2_motion
        to: "off"
        for:
          hours: 0
          minutes: 0
          seconds: 30
        trigger: state
        from: null

update: after some time it recovered itself

I wonder what if create 2 automations: first automation to turn lamp on trigger and second automation to turn off lamp :thinking:

I see the problem is aqara motion sensor, it stuck in Motion: Detected state after HA restart for about 10 minutes that’s why my automation doesn’t work.

I did another test, I rebooted HA when state was Motion: Clear and after reboot it worked right away!

Is there a way to set or reset item state on boot maybe?

Update 2: I set python_script integration and now can set state for motion sensor when HA starts.

I also now have two automations: first automation to turn lamp on trigger and second automation to turn off lamp.

The reason I need a second automation because I need to constantly monitor duration of Clear state, without dealing with states transition (from detected to clear).

alias: turn off lamp
description: ""
triggers:
  - type: no_motion
    device_id: <id_here>
    entity_id: <id_here>
    domain: binary_sensor
    trigger: device
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10
conditions: []
actions:
  - type: turn_off
    device_id: <id_here>
    entity_id: <id_here>
    domain: light
    enabled: true
mode: single

This trigger type: no_motion should turn off lamp after HA restart if its on.
In my testing trigger based on state changes doesn’t work for some reason.

Update 3: I rebooted HA and lamp was on and sensor state was clear. My automation failed.

I guess I need to create automation to turn off lamp when HA starts and go back to my original automation…
