Can someone help me making a blueprint? I can’t figure it out myself.
I would like to get my garden lights on when the sun goes down, but only when person x, y or z is at home. Based on the presence of a mobile phone which is present in the WiFi network and that the garden lighting switches off at an adjustable time. It has to run each evening.
I would greatly appreciate it.
Why not create an automation instead of a blueprint?
Once you have created the automation, you can decide if you want to take the extra step of converting it to a blueprint.
I can not get it done, with te standard automation.
i have a similar blueprint for my heating with presence detection and i also like to have the presence detection for my garden lights.
just Break it down
what are the
trigger:
bla bla
condition
bla bla
and the Action
action
Now you mite need some helper to help get the condition right
Sure you can. Blueprints simply generate automations defined within the blueprint.
Is there anyone willing to help me make a blueprint?
Instead of posting comments that I really can’t do anything with!
This is what I’ve been able to make so far, I can select the blueprint select the right variables. But when saving, it is not saved as an automation. Something’s in the code is not right.
Help is much appreciated!

When I suggested you first create an automation you said you can’t make an automation to do what you want. If your intended application cannot be implemented as an automation then it definitely can’t be implemented as a blueprint. A blueprint generates an automation.
The example you posted contains syntax errors (key words must be in lower-case whereas you have several in title-case) and indentation errors (like the service call for default).
I highly recommend you first create an automation using the Automation Editor. It will produce YAML that is free of syntax and indentation errors. Once you have confirmed the automation works correctly, you can convert it to a blueprint.
