Hi Scott, and welcome to the community.

@Gooshy

I have my HA up and running with your Blueprint and it’s great, saved me loads of time and effort. I’m trying to work out how to deal with the power on situation. I have a group of 2 hue bulbs and 1 Philips motion sensor. The trigger is the motion sensor and it then turns my group on containing the two bulbs.

All good, thanks for your kind words.

@Gooshy

How can I configure what happens when the lights have been switched off at the power switch and then when I turn them back on. I’d like to be able to configure the light temp and how long it’s on for after the initial physical power switch has been turn on.

Confirming this and providing context so other readers can understand.

Because your lights are hue bulbs they must have power onto them at all times in order to turn them ON and OFF in Home Assistant. If no power is supplied to the hue bulbs they are just known as unavailable. So if you turn them OFF at the physical switch you have no HA control.

So you are asking; When you turn ON the lights at the physical switch (that then supply’s power to the hue bulbs) you would like to control the light temp and a time delay to then turn OFF you lights. If that is the case then try Entity - Run ON Timer. The only thing it will not do is set your light temp.

I am not sure if this is what you are after though as this blueprint keeps the lights ON until the trigger goes OFF. Maybe you can confirm exactly what you are trying to achieve if I am not understanding correctly. The reason I say this is because you have your lights controlled via motion sensor. I think you would like to have this motion control but also when you turn your lights ON with the physical switch you would like the automation to just run and if no motion is detected your lights turn OFF in a given time and the automation is ready to receive a trigger from the motion sensor. If that is the case then please confirm.

I also have another blueprint called Turn Light, Switch or Scene On & Off with Trigger Conditions. I am going to upgrade it so it reflects this blueprint light control. I could add a timer to that blueprint and would also have light control.

Your 2 edits regarding by-pass are working correctly but again need to confirm if I am understand correctly first. I wouldn’t use the by-pass like this.

I will wait to hear from you
