Thanks!
I will definently look into splitting it up into folders and additional files, that would give a much better overview!

It seems like the Bee In The Hive sensor is working! Thank you!

I use your blueprint for all my motion-activated lights. Some of the lights also have a switch attached to them, so you can also manually turn on (and off) the lights. How does that affect the automation? If i manually turn on the lights and the motion sensor detects motion in the room (because i move around in the room) would the automation still turn off the lights? I ask because i have the impression that sometimes when the lights are turned on manually (usually because they have been turned off accidentally for some time) they stay on. Do you know why?

No problem,

Glad you got it working.

There’s still a problem with the sensor, but i’m not sure what. Maybe it’s the position of my motion sensor; i have it pointing not directly towards but along the wall where the door is. This means motion is detected before the door is closed. Could that be the problem? (After just reading your docs, it seems no, it should be using scenario 2.

There are 2 times that affect this automation, the motion sensor reset time in the “Bee In The hive” template sensor, and the “Time Delay” value in the blueprint.

The “Bee in the hive” sensor should reflect the time it takes for the motion sensor to reset to “no motion detected” from “motion detected”. For my Aqara Motion sensor P1, i have 2 time vaules: “Detection interval: Time interval between action detection” and “Occupancy timeout: Time in seconds after which occupancy is cleared after detecting it.” i guess it is the latter, which by default is set to the value of “detection interval”+2s. Detection interval is 10s, which means the other sensor must be 12s. So i set the delay value in the “Bee in the hive” sensor to 20s.

The “Time delay” value in the blueprint is set to 2 minutes.

I open the door, go in, close the door, do motion for 20s, then stand totally still. The lights turn off after 2 minutes. Why?

template sensor:

- trigger:
    - trigger: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.badevaerelse_sensor_dor_aqara_contact
      to: "on"
    - trigger: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.badevaerelse_sensor_dor_aqara_contact
      to: "off"
      for:
        seconds: 20
    - trigger: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.badevaerelse_sensor_bevaegelse_aqara_occupancy
      to: "on"
  binary_sensor:
    - name: "Badeværelse Optaget Sensor"
      device_class: occupancy
      icon: mdi:account-box-outline
      state: >
        {{ is_state('binary_sensor.badevaerelse_sensor_dor_aqara_contact', 'off') and is_state('binary_sensor.badevaerelse_sensor_bevaegelse_aqara_occupancy', 'on') }}

@Strux

Sorry your having trouble . I have just made a test sensor for this and it works perfectly.

NOTE: Every time you change/edit your template sensor YAML you have to reload it for it to take effect. Easiest way is to go into developer tools > YAML tab > scroll down to Template Entities and click it… you should see a green tick.

Let try a few things to make it clear. In a dashboard add an entities card. In the card enter your door contact sensor, your sensor group, your motion sensor and your bee In The Hive sensor like shown below.

145

Now you can see at what is happening. Test a few things.

Trigger your motion sensor and time how long it takes to go from detected to clear. Then add a few seconds (+5) to your time (seconds). Use this time as a starting point replacing your 20 seconds. Make sure you reload your template senors every time you change it as described above.
Close the door, stand still not to trigger your motion sensor and wait until it is clear. Everything must be clear, then make your motion sensor go detected. You should see the group and bee in the hive go to detected. It should stay that way until you open the door.
Close the door, keep your motion sensor detected past your seconds. You should see the group and bee in the hive go to detected. It should stay that way until you open the door.

If you would like to show me your settings please dont copy 6000+ lines of code. What you do is go into your automation, top right 3 dots, Edit in YAML, copy all the code (will be a small amount of YAML just your settings), come back to the forum and in your reply at the top tool bar click on “</>” and paste code in there.

Now it work thank you.

And great job on the guide update, now it’s very clear.

Your welcome, glad you got it working.

Enjoy

Thank you Blacky very much appreciated.

I have made the requested changes. But, I have one issue, and i had another with the automations not working after restarting ha but that seems to be working now.

The only issue and this can be by design and i have to redo other automations or scenes.

So when I run for example goodnight scene or manually change the lights, the automation stops working or at least seems that way until i manually run it, then it starts working again.

@wagnerks1990

Thanks for your YAML.

I have changed a one thing.

Removed script in input_boolean.bedroomlights_helper from Lights > Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper. You had the same helper in lights and in Dynamic Lighting - Toggle Helper (Optional). You only need it in dynamic lighting.
