First of all, thanks for publishing this automation! It looks like it will do exactly what I want, if I can get it to work.
However, I am having problems just getting it to trigger in the simplest configuration (just adding a sensor and a switch). This is what I see when I edit it in yaml:
In my dashboard I can see the sensor goes from “clear” to “detected” when I move, and can get other simpler light automations (that don’t have as many features as this one) to trigger off of it. Seems like I am missing something basic, but can’t figure out what.
I set homeassistant up a few years ago, but didn’t do anything beyond connect my thermostat till now. I just updated everything with an update button, but maybe there is something stale somewhere?
You can ignore my question. I found the answer by reading this post a few posts up:
I just had exactly this happen. Couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t triggering. It was a device (blue) that I had chosen not the Entity (green). I wasn’t even thinking that could be a problem because to me the trigger was what mattered. Still learning.
I did look through the FAQ and didn’t find this answer, so may be worth adding a note there or something.
firstly, awesome automation @Blacky !
I just started using this blueprint with 3 automations (for now) and I think there may be a bug. Note, I have not used a previous version and recently started on HAss - former Smartthings users for many years including using Edge drivers…
Seems like the transition object is mandatory, it needs to be checked and anything < 0. I started debugging my automation with 1 second for both on and off transistions, graduated to 0.1 for both on and off and transition enabled. If I uncheck the transition, the automation doesnt fire.
Here is the trace timeline (not sure what else would help you).
Triggered by the state of binary_sensor.motion_living_room_3 at June 28, 2023 at 9:52:36 PM
Test if any of 12 conditions matches
Test if any of 6 conditions matches
Test if any of 3 conditions matches
Test if any of 6 conditions matches
Test if any of 3 conditions matches
Test if any of 3 conditions matches
Choose: Default action executed
Stopped because an error was encountered at June 28, 2023 at 9:52:36 PM (runtime: 0.07 seconds)
Transition value 0 is not valid.
For now, as a workaround I have transitions enabled and 0.1 for on and off values.
Hope to hear back from you. This community seems to be great!

Hey you can actually format your long yaml dump into a code block.
See this link for more information on how to do that.
Also, if it’s so long, you might wanna wrap it in a “Hide Details” block after making it a code block.
You can find this option in the editor → → Hide Details.
That will allow your extremely long yaml dump to be collapsed.
This is how you can do it:
[details=“Example”]
```yaml

I agree, a few people have asked the same question. We will add another FAQ so others with the same problem can get started ASAP. Thanks for your suggestion
Thanks for the info, could you advise what you are using to control your lights example:Zigbee2MQTT, wifi, shelly, zigbee, etc. I am running through testing of the next release so I will have a look at it.
if you track you orange line to the point where it stops then click on it and provide a close up screen shot of that point so I can see what is happening.
This issue is typically caused by selecting Areas or Devices in Lights - Switches - Scenes - Scripts. The blueprint only supports entities, not Areas, Devices, or Labels.
To fix this, click the expand button “<>” as shown below. This will break down your selected Areas, Devices, and Labels into individual entities. Ensure that all selections are green and consist only of entities. The same applies to “Night Lights.”
After making these changes, your trigger should activate the automation correctly.
@Blacky , i am using zigbee2mqtt (smartthings motion), zwave (aeotec multi 7) and binary (envisalink), lights are TPLink Kasa wifi.
tried with only 1 motion, 2 motions (not grouped) in automations, same results. another interesting thing is i dont have the dimmer value set so I expect the automation to just turn on at existing dimmer brightness, however the first couple times, the brightness is at 1%, havent narrowed down this issue yet. example, leave to work in morning, 1st motion is at 1%, i go to work and snoop on my dog, when dog walks around I see the lights are at the original motion of 40%. hope that makes sense.
Sort of a simple foolish question, I’m not quite understanding the bypass.
I’m using a smart ZHA switch (Real physical wired switch in a box) to turn on the dumb lights and keep them on so long as one of my two motion sensors in the group detect movement, and turn off 5 minutes after.
But when family visits, I have a Murphy bed in the office, and we use the room as a bedroom. So other than disabling the automation, which is a simple enough solution, is there another way I can stop the lights from turning on once turned off with the switch?

this is what is shown when the point of where the orange line last goes
Again sorry for the trouble this is obviously showing a problem with me and not ur blueprint but any help is apreciated
I have the same kind of switch, this is switching my light in the hallway. I have another automation which sets the switch to ON based on sunset. Another automation switches the light off at midnight.
So I first set the Sensor Light blueprint to run only after midnight. But in summer, we switch off the lights manually to avoid insects flying inside towards the light if door is open.
So I changed the blueprint to run after sunset. So far so good…
But now the lights will go off too if somebody enters the hallway, even if the light was ON before motion was detected.
Is it possible to bypass the Sensor Light script, if the light was already ON behore motion was detected? I can’t use bypass because the specific light is on the switch itself. And my Wife does not want to push buttons each time she walks by…
So Long story short: Is a bypass function if light was already ON, a feature to be expected?
I cannot disable automation based on light status; it would kill itself too if the automation would set the light to ON
Thanks for all the information. I do have an idea that could fix this… I just need to develop it and test it. Hopefully it will be out in the next release.
The by-pass is like a pause button. You have 3 options to chose from on what should happen when you turn the by-pass ON. Unlike just disabling the automation when you turn OFF the by-pass it looks to see what is happening and reacts to the correct way the automation should run.
If you would like to go over the top, when family visits and if they are also included in HA as a local only access you could use their mobile phone and when the phone is in the zone you could have it turn ON the by-pass automaticity, thus disabling the automation and they just use the switch as a normal light switch.
We need the screen shot of your automation like shown below. I click on the orange where it stopped and had to take 2 screen shots so you can read it. This way I can look at it and advise you.
Do you keep forgetting to turn the by-pass OFF and your lights either say ON or don’t come ON at all when they should, to then realise you left the by-pass ON?
New Features
Added the ability to use a “By-pass Auto OFF Option”. This is used when you turn the by-pass ON and you would like the by-pass to automatically turn OFF in a set time delay. It can also be used as a timer to turn the lights ON and then OFF if you have chosen to use “Enable the By-pass - Turn lights ON”.
Bugs Fixes
Add default value to transition.
