Hey guys,
I’m new to all this, and I’ve only had Hassio running on an RP3+ for a few days. I have an automation working but I’m struggling a little with the syntax for the time condition.
I have a Zwave motion detector in my driveway. When motion is detected HA sends a command to Blue Iris to record on all cameras. A second action is that HA sends a message which causes my Echo Plus to announce that motion was detected.
All this is working except I want the condition of it triggering only between 8am and 11:59pm to only apply to the announcement on my Echo Plus. In other words if its after midnight, I still want the cameras to record but I don’t want the Echo Plus to wake me up. Here is my automation from automations.yaml:
- id: '1534452964380'
alias: Motion Trigger Blue Iris Record
trigger:
- entity_id: sensor.ecolink_motion_detector_burglar
from: '0'
platform: state
to: '8'
condition:
- after: '8:00'
before: '23:59'
condition: time
action:
- service: rest_command.blueiris_request
- data:
entity_id: media_player.echo_plus
message: Motion Detected in Drive Way
service: media_player.alexa_tts
Sorry for the noob question. Help would be much appreciated!
