Motion controlled lights and / or switches

This is a blueprint based on the original motion_light from Home Assistant. This one, however, allows you to control not only lights but also switches when motion is detected. You can select any number of lights and / or switches.

gist here

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Thank you it’s very good but the condition “delay” i recommend you replace it with “for”

Hey @Ultra9k - Nice work here. Is it possible to include “Times of day” conditions?
