Hi there,
I want to share my “presence simulator” in case someone needs it.
It does what its name tells:
Case 1: turns on/off lights when I am not at home and the my Risco security system is activated
Case 2: turns on/off light during the night when I am at home and the security system is activated for the garden only
I created one config for each case. If case 1 is activated case 2 does not start. In case 2 is activated case 1 does not run.
Here I’m gonna share just case 2 config since I have completely tested it. Case 1 is not enough tested because covid lockdown…
Anyway, case 2 works fine so maybe case1 may work as well.
This is the automation.yaml component:

Of course you need to set up components like Risco security system. In case you use another alarm system you need something else…
Any suggestion is appreciated
Hope it helps!
