Hi All,
I’m trying to create an automation that when I’m watching a movie, if motion is detected somewhere, the movie pauses.
I’ve created a toggle called movie. Linked this to a button that shows the state so I know when it’s On.
My trigger is a motion detector.
My condition is a state.
I can force the automation and the TV pauses. However when I test the condition I get the red icon to say the state isn’t “on”.
When I physically test the automation it doesn’t run.
What am I missing?
