Hi @yrivardmulrooney firstly welcome to the community.

@yrivardmulrooney

I wanted to thank you for this blueprint, I started using it a few weeks ago and it’s been working great and pretty much all the features I could want are included out of the box .

Your welcome, I am glad you like it . Also thank you for asking the questions and for your suggestion.

The lux threshold before turning on the lights is currently limited to 500 as a maximum value, which in my case seems to be a bit low. I’ve positioned a single luminance sensor that I’m using globally with all my uses of the blueprint, and I positioned it right next to a window to check what the outside luminance is like. I’ve noticed that it gets kind of dark inside before the sensor reports a value below the threshold, even when set to 500, I’d like to be able to set it probably around 1000 if possible.

This is in or FAQ. If you would like to enter 1000 or any other number the slider is not allowing then just simply type the number you would like in and click save .

The other thing I’ve noticed is that when you have multiple sensors triggering the automation, it seems like the lights will turn off when a single motion sensor hasn’t detected movement for the timeout period. I would have expected the lights to stay on until all motion sensors stopped detecting occupancy for the timeout. I can probably work around this issue with a sensor group, but I wasn’t sure if this was expected behavior so I’m bringing it up .

This is also in or FAQ. I wouldn’t add the new “sensor group” but you can add a “Binary sensor group”. The FAQ is below, follow the steps in the link and it will walk you through it.

Q: I have more than one trigger sensor / binary sensor and my light will come ON then it will turn OFF and stay OFF? - or - The automation is not working correctly with 2 or more trigger sensor / binary sensor and is driving you crazy?

be able to have the blueprint re-evaluate whether the lights should be on or off when the bypass trigger is deactivated.

Thanks for your suggestion . I have this on my list to do as I would also like to have it linked with my Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan blueprint (both blueprints work together). I will try and get this out in the next release soon.
