I am a newbie with HA and coming from Vera. I have seriously struggled with the below and could really use some help/guidance. I believe I have most of the pieces but I’m having trouble putting it all together.
I have 6 Zwave bulbs in overhead fixtures and a motion detector in my kitchen. I’d like to:
-When motion is detected turn on all the lights to the last dim level.
When Alexa initiated change in the dim level all lights go to that level.
When motion is not detected for 5 minutes, shut them all off.
I would very much appreciate some help. I have this in my Configuration file.
- platform: template
sensors:
kitchen_brightness:
friendly_name: "Kitchen Brightness"
value_template: '{% if states.light.kitchen_74.state == "on" %}{{ states.light.kitchen_74.attributes.brightness|int }}{% else %}10{% endif %}'
And the below in my Automations:
- id: kitchen_overheads_If_Motion
alias: "Kitchen Overheads If Motion"
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_kitchen_95
to: 'on'
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: light.kitchen_74
data:
brightness: "{{ states.sensor.kitchen_brightness.state|int }}"
- id: kitchen_overheads
alias: "Kitchen Overheads Adjust"
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.kitchen_brightness
action:
- service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: group.kitchenslaves
data_template:
brightness: "{{ states.sensor.kitchen_brightness.state|int }}"
- id: kitchen_off_no_motion
alias: "No Motion Kitchen"
trigger:

entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_kitchen_95
