Motion Sensing and Illuminance Threshold based Lights Automation that Dims and Changes Color Temperature according to Sun Elevation

[arosboro (Andrew Rosborough)]

It seems I need to follow this strategy here:

Using targets as conditions?

I have been working on that for the last day and I think I finally found a working solution. This seems to work as a condition that checks if any of the lights in the target group are on: # making the input variable usable in the condition variables: lights: !input "light_target" ... - "{{ expand(lights.entity_id) | selectattr('state', '==', 'on') | list | count > 0 }}" This is not very flexible (yet) though as I assume if you pick groups or devices instead of entities they would not be in t…

I will update the gists, and there should be no requirement to update automations.xml if you’ve already applied automation from this blueprint.
