New update 2.8

Fixed a bug when selected “Enable the By-pass - If lights are ON, turn lights OFF”. If trigger sensor was ON and stayed ON the light would not turn OFF.

Added the "By-pass Time Delay” option.

Use case.

  • You turn the by-pass on and you have “Enable the By-pass - If lights are ON, turn lights OFF” selected. You then need some time to exit before the lights turn off.
  • When you turn your by-pass off and at the same time your trigger sensor is off but your still in the room and need to keep the lights on while the motion sensor will trigger again soon (within the set by-pass time delay) and take over the automation. This will stop you flapping your arms around to trigger the sensor again so you lights will turn back on.

TIP: You can now also link this blueprint with my Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan blueprint. So if you use this blueprint to control the lights in your bathroom sometimes when having a shower the motion sensor doesn’t work when you behind the shower screen turning your lights off. If you put the bathroom exhaust fan used in my Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan blueprint into the by-pass of this automation the lights will stay on while you are in the shower. When the fan turns off it reset this automation and the light will stay on or go off depending on the trigger sensor.

Enjoy
