Multiply "AND" & "OR" Conditions In One Automation

Configuration
1

Hi There, im wanting to have an automation that turns the heating on and off depending on a couple of conditions, one been if me or the wife leave the house and the second been if theres no motion on some smartthings motions detectors. so in my head it goes if me and the wifes trackers are “not_home” turn heating off or if there’s “inactive” on the detectors for 45mins turn the heating off but there’s 3 detectors so im guessing they need to be in a and condition so that all three have to be inactive for 45mins and not on its own that been said i believe i need it to go “AND” “OR” “AND”. i may be wrong but im no expert hopefully someone can help

Put them in groups.
Make a group for presence and insert the 2 device_trackers (yours and wifes)
and one for motion detection with the 3 motion detectors
That way you can have ONLY 2 instances which will be off or on.
So that means that you can do something like this:
IF presence = off then turn heating off
IF presence = on then turn heating on

IF motion = off for 45mins then turn heating off

Your conditions would be much simpler and it still does the same thing.
