Motion Activated - Switch and Or Light

[ChrisHA (Chrisborell)]

Hi All!

Loving all the blueprint contributions! I’m looking for a simple 'Motion detected, turn on switch and or light (multiple devices/entities) and then turn off after x amount of time when last motion detected.

Does anyone have one that works? I’ve tried all the ones available, but none seem compatible or work with my set up. I’m using a mix of Lifx Lights & Tuya switches.

Thanks!

I’ve just switched to this one and it’s been working great for me (combination of lights and switches):

Turn on light, switch, scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions)

Answered my own question. Added a second motion detector IN the kitchen, so after motion clears that one, the automation starts the timer.

Also note, if you have switches that you want Home Assistant to treat as lights, you can set that up in your base Home Assistant config:

Change device type of a switch

I guess some folks would need this, I just name al my devices as recognizable… ie switch.kitchen_light.
