FAQ - How do you update the blueprint from version 1.1 - 1.3 to version 1.4 and above?

New update 1.4

You have the option to add multiple motion sensors. :+1:

Use case
You could have two or more motion sensors that turn the lights on.

  • Your driveway and your front door are apart from one another. So you have two motion sensors, one that picks up your car and the other your front door. Someone visits, light come on and when you get home from work in your car lights come on.
  • Two doors into a factory (or a large room). Two motion sensors at each door.

I think this will be useful to fix this now moving forward, but this update will hide your selection of your motion sensor from any existing sensor light automations you have. If you are starting from new then your all good and this will not affect you. But if you are upgrading from Versions 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3 you can fix it easily. You have 2 options.

  • Delete your existing sensor light automation (not the blueprint), update the blueprint and then add your automation back again. Should be easy enough.
  • Update the blueprint, go into your “sensor light automation” and edit the YAML code. I will walk you through the steps, its not hard but you must follow the steps or it will disappear from your automations. So if your not sure or confident maybe do the first option.

1 - This is how your sensor light automation normally looks like. Versions 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3 only. See below.

4 - This is how your “motion_trigger” will look like. We need to edit this line only.

5 - This is how you will need to edit the YAML. Make sure you put the “-” with a space then the name of your sensor. Code example also below. Then Click Save.

    motion_trigger:
      - binary_sensor.your_sensor_here

6 - Click on the 3 dots and “Edit in visual editor”

7 - You should now see your motion sensor with a option to add another one. If you don’t see it go back to step 3 and check your code is correct. If you do then your done.
