Hello, i would like to know if it’s possible, how to group the automations using the same base.
- alias: 'PowerOff MOVIES started from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'MOVIES'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "PowerOff" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_normal
- alias: 'PowerOff PC started from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'PC'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "PowerOff" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_normal
- alias: 'Movies started from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "MOVIES" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_dim
- alias: 'PC started from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "PC" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_dim
- alias: 'ONE started from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "ONE" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_dim
Thanks
You could chain all of your automations in group one together with simply an or condition because the action is the same for each of them. Same goes for group 2.
You could also combine all of those into one by using if statements in your action, but that might be more complication and trouble than it’s worth.

Your second automation will cause you problems. You need to actually nest the sunset with an and condition, so that it won’t fire before sunset.

Do you think it’s ok with this code:
- alias: 'Activity Dimmed from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "ONE" }}'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "PC" }}'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "MOVIES" }}'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "SMART TV" }}'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "TV" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_dim
- alias: 'PowerOff Light On started from harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
- condition: or
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'ONE'
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'MOVIES'
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'PC'
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'TV'
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
state: 'SMART TV'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "PowerOff" }}'
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.livingroom_normal

Yes! As long as that doesn’t give any errors when you upload it, I think it will work. If it doesn’t, just post again.

There is something wrong with the code, the automation don’t fire.
I think will need help for my first automation with “or” & “and” to clearly understand the typo process.
Thanks in advance.
Your syntax is good (I think), but in your “normal” scene automation you should have the Power Off value template in the “and” portion," not the “or” portion. Right now, as long as it’s after sunset and the input_select is on one, movies, PC, TV, or Smart TV, the second automation will fire on any state change of the hub, not just power off.
