Motion detection convert

Hi!

Can some one please help me.

Im stuck on a simple thing.

I have a motin sensor wich i recive ”motion detected date/time” how do i turn this to sensor a with on/off instead? So i can trigger an automation.

So i wanf to change Tillstånd: motion to Tillstånd: on/off

How can i do that?

Motion sensors should work ‘on’ or ‘off’… that’s what you use to create your automation something like this:

- alias: 14 - Motion Sensor Hallway Lights On
  id: Motion Sensor Hallway Lights
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.hallway_motion_sensor_motion
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  condition:
    - condition: time
      after: '07:30:00'
      before: '23:00:00' 
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.hallway_light

- alias: Motion Sensor Hallway Lights Off
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.hallway_motion_sensor_motion
      from: 'on'
      to: 'off'
  action:
    - service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.hallway_light

That’s the one I use to turn hallway light on with motion. Still have to tweak to only work at certain times but hopefully you get the jist of the motion sensor. So in my automation when it’s ‘tripped’ it’s ‘state’ shows ‘on’. When it resets the ‘state’ shows ‘off’. I didn’t have to do anything it’s just how it already works.

You can use this as a template and put in what you want it to do :slight_smile:
