New update 4.5

:warning: Some work is required in this upgrade. Please see below on the steps required when upgrading. It is easy and not a breaking change.

New Feature :new:

Trigger Sensor By-pass - Switch"

You can now have multiple by-pass switches :partying_face:

What can this now do? :thinking:

You can now have multiple By-pass that will disable your automation. It is a good easy way to now enable or disable multiple automation using the one by-pass (helper) and having multiple by-passes you can choose any by-pass that suit you when you turn it ON. It can work like a group or just be a stand alone by-pass. You can also have automations turn a by-pass ON, like my sensor light add on blueprint :rocket: Example of some by-pass you could now include in your automations are;

  • All light Automations
  • Party Mode
  • Guest Mode
  • Night Time
  • Sleep Mode
  • Movie Mode
  • Upstairs Lights
  • Downstairs Lights
  • Bedroom Lights
  • Smoke Alarm
  • Alarm System
  • Kitchen Lights
  • Etc

Now you have more control over your automations and it will work better with my :infinity: Sensor Light Add On - Media & Movie Lights - House Alarm Lights - Smoke Alarm Lights & Exhaust Fans + More blueprint. We are also getting ready for more to come in the road map ahead :wink:

:warning: :stethoscope: STEPS REQUIRED WHEN UPGRADING :white_check_mark:

If you have never selected to use a by-pass then most likely you won’t need to do anything but you may want to check just encase you have selected by-pass in the past.

1 - Upgrade your blueprint.
2 - Go into your automation (the ones using this blueprint). If you have entered in a by-pass then you will see a missing input. If you don’t see this missing input then you have never selected it and your all good to go, your done. If you see it then continue on.

You have 2 options you can choose from;

  • Delete this line,(“motion_bypass: ???”)

    5

  • Edit the code as shown below but with your entity ID

    4

        motion_bypass: 
      - input_boolean.halway_lights_by_pass

5 - Then click 3 dots and select “Edit in visual editor”

6 - Depending on what option you have chosen above in step 4 you will see this.

7 - Click save, you’re done. Now just do the same in your other automations using this blueprint.

TIP
If you would like to easily find all the automation that are using this blueprint so you can check your YAML. Go into blueprints and click on the 3 dots next to the sensor light blueprint and select “show automations using this blueprint” You then can easily edit them all. See below.
