NFC TAG as a Condition to an Automation

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to make an automation to perform a task once a door is open . The trigger is The Door Sensor but I only want the Automation to Run, if someone has taged the NFC TAG.

I have tried to put both trigers, but once one of the trigers is triged, the automation goes. So doent work.

What i need is. if tag was tagged, prepare automation, and then run after the Sensor is open. Is this possible?

  • Use the NFC Tag as a trigger
  • Add a wait action, optionally specify a timeout
  • Add the template for the wait action
    Template example: {{ is_state('binary_sensor.door','on') }}

So the automation fires when you scan the tag.
Then it waits for you to open a door, and it waits until the end of time (or until you restart Home Assistant).
When you specify a timeout, the wait will, well, time out after the specified amount of time.
Think of it like this: Wait for a door to open, but if that doesn't happen after 5 minutes, stop.
You can also enable “continue on timeout” (should be left off in this case).
This will change the wait to Wait for a door to open, but if that doesn't happen within 5 minutes, continue executing the automation.
