Thanks :smiling_face:

You can do all this with my :honeybee: Bee In The Hive Sensor :honeybee:. Everything is explained on how to do this in my template examples Click Here

Let us know how you go.

I Have just tested it again here and it is working perfectly on what we are asking it to do. Below are the Ambient Options… yeah there a lot of different scenarios depending on your selection and this is just one option within the blueprint.

  1. If motion is detected and your lux crosses over to below it will turn ON.
  2. If motion is detected and your lux crosses over to above and your site conditions is set to "no’ it will turn OFF.
  3. If motion is detected and your lux crosses over to above and your site conditions is set to "yes’ and your light is ON it will turn do nothing.
  4. If motion is not detected and your lux crosses over to above and your site conditions is set to "yes’ and your light is ON it is already timing out on your motion sensor and will turn the light OFF when timed out.
  5. If motion is not detected and your lux crosses crosses over to below it will turn do nothing.
  6. If motion is not detected and your lux crosses crosses over to above and your site conditions is set to "no’ and the light is ON then it will turn turn OFF.
  7. If motion is detected and your lux is above it will it will do nothing.

Yes but you will need to use a schedule as the trigger. If you are asking if you can enable dynamic lighting between the hours of X & Y and have the automation not use dynamic lighting out of those hours then you will need to create 2 automations, one for dynamic lighting and the other for what ever you like. Use time as a condition in both automations.

Hope this helps

Hello, i have only a hue motion Sensor and a Livarno Home LED ceiling light.
Normal when someone enter the bath, the motion sensor detect motion an turn on the light for 5 minutes. But when we take a shower, the light turn off after 5 minute and my wife get angry :wink: so i must do anything you know :slight_smile:

Thanks for the suggestions Blacky!
Though using a physical or UI button as bypass negates the use of an automation with motion sensor to trigger lights… The idea of your blueprint is that we don’t even have to look at the UI to turn on the light so a manual by-pass doesn’t seem like a neat solution for my usecase. And a problem for me is that I have no physical switch available, only a zigbee switch which I cannot select as a bypass switch. Bug or something HA doesn’t allow?

The idea with the number helper as an alternative way to set the delay seems the easiest solution for me. I can then use an automation to switch it between 3 and 10 minutes during times we normally cook.
I’m still trying to find a way to work with a bypass but can’t find a valid solution just yet. I was thinking about a helper toggle/switch which I turn on between 17:00 and 17:45 via a separate automation but it should then only by-pass an auto turn off from your automation, it should not turn on the lights. Is that already possible?

sounds like you need an extra motion sensor in your shower :sweat_smile: :rofl:

I will go through the options I suggested again.

  1. If you have a humidity sensor like in your fist post you said you had one then use a template sensor so when it is above above 60% (your request) then the by-pass turns ON or better option would be to use it to toggle to night lights with state condition and use a 10 min delay (your request for 10 min). That is if your not using night lights in the automation.

  2. If you get yourself a door contact sensor then use :honeybee: Bee In The Hive Sensor :honeybee: template sensor.

  3. If you have a humidity sensor and something to control the fan then use my :shower: Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan blueprint.

The best option would be 3 then the 2nd best would be 2 then 1 but they will all work.

@RezzZ

Do you use night lights in this automation? If not then use the night lights to run between 17:00 and 17:45 and set a 10 min delay for night lights.

If you do use night lights then maybe you could have 2 automation and use time condition to switch them.

Will this work for you?

Blacky :smiley:

Thank you again, i will try number 3.
but i miss on think, when i take a shower during the day the light will go on :wink:
even if it is bright enough

Then use Ambient Options and use a lux sensor.

Blacky :smiley:

I think I’m on the wrong track.
I have it in the sensor light automation, but in the Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan automation there is no possibility to use an Ambient Options. sry for my question again.

Have a look at my set up. It uses ambient and it is what you are trying to do. It goes through both automation settings. Click Here

New update 5.2

New Feature :new:

  1. Scripts - You can now use scripts in “Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts” and “Night Lights”. When you use a script to turn ON your lights you will need to add a scene with everything OFF and input it into “Scenes - Scripts To Turn OFF”. Like scenes, when using scripts it is recommended to input just one entity into “Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts” or “Night Lights” where scripts are the only input. Why? When using scenes an / or scripts the automation has no idea if any of the lights / switches are ON or OFF. For the automation to function correctly, adding just one entity in allows the automation to see what is going on.

that will definitely work. Thanks for the suggestion. Means managing 2 automations but I understand you cannot change your blueprint for each and every new usecase/suggestion :slight_smile:
Cheers!
edit:
ohh I send you a small donation because I truly appreciate the quick help and support!

this would be a good feature for me to expand the time if someone turns on the light manualy.
if someone pushes the light switch, i programmed to turn the light 100% and enable bypass.
i have another automatisation for every room to turn the bypass off after 10 minutes without motion.
this feature implemented could save me about 10 automatisations. (its like a nomotion time expander)

I’m loving the versatility of this blueprint! I’m using it to control the lighting in my reptile room, with a motion sensor. However, I want the lights to COME ON during the day, based on sun elevation, to provide a more natural seasonal cycle. As near as I can tell, this will only turn the lights on when the sun is moving high → low. Is there a way to invert the sun logic?

New to HA, currently migrating from Hubitat and this is the first Blueprint I tried and loving it!
I have one longshot request though as I know this will only be helpful to a minority:

I have a long hallway with Zigbee bulbs. Ideally I’d like to have each bulb light up in succession in one direction with a set delay between each bulb when motion is triggered on one end of the hallway and in the other direction when motion is triggered on the other end of the hallway.

I could write a custom automation for that but then I’d lose all of the great features this blueprint offers. Is that something that is possible (probably yes) or desirable (probably no)??

@RezzZ

Nice one.

Thanks look forward to your support.

Blacky :smiley:

Thanks for your suggestion I will put it on the list.

@jaevans

Use normal lights for your day time then use night lights for your night time and use sun as the condition. If you don’t want any lights at night then don’t add any. This will allow light for the day time.

@Silvermane

Your in luck we just added to allow for scripts.
