I think the blueprint is great. Thank you very much for that.

I have a problem with it.
I have installed a group of two motion detectors in the hallway. I have an L-shaped hallway.
The light comes on when one of them detects movement. The other detector is still free then.
If I now switch off the light using voice control because I donā€™t need it and go into the area of the second detector, which has not yet detected any movement, the light switches back on. But I donā€™t want that. Because I switched it off using an Alexa command.
How can I build this? Is there any way to do this with the bypass?

Best regards

:face_with_thermometer: hey could you rename this blueprint lol, looks horrendous in my project

Hi Blacky,
Thanks for the amazing blueprint!
I do have some issues with my setup.
It looks simple, but I canā€™t get it to work.
I have an outside light and a motion detector.
I want the light to turn on at dusk at 10% brightness (a kind of night glow).
When someone walks by, the brightness should increase to 90%.
After 1 minute, it should go back to 10%.
The light should turn off in the morning when it starts getting light outside.
Especialy the night glow doesnā€™t seem to stay on.
It turns off at 10 min
Do you have a YAML example so I can compare it with mine?

To start off I love the template and all the customization thatā€™s possible with this.
I just notice that there seems to be an issue in my specific template or in general. (Or i just thought it would work like this)
I have a bypass thatā€™s a door sensor that bypasses the bathroom light to turn on already.
But I have the turn off after X seconds when there is no real presence in the bathroom while the bypass is turned on. (Use The Bypass Auto OFF Option)
But now the bathroom light doesnā€™t turn off after that X seconds.
Is it possible you can help me look into this if this is possible?

Hi Blacky,
I love this blueprint and recently started to use the Night Glow option.
Is it somehow possible to define a start and end time for the Night Glow so it switches back to the Night Light brightness setting when reaching the End Time?
Or a toggle (time) helper to enable/disable Night Glow?

3845

It seems to work now. Philips Hue was the bug and turned the light off

Great job! I am one of them and Iā€™m trying to figure out if it is capable to block turning lights off as long as a door contact is closed? Any hints, pls?

Thanks,
Goppi

@Goppi,
I think the Bypass option can be used for this,
When the Bypass state is ON, lights will not be switched offā€¦
When OFF, the automation will control the lights as defined.
I use the Bypass option and this works great. Of course you need a door contact sensor

Hi, is it possible to have a ā€œvariableā€ time delay (= input number entity). So we can have/make a different time delay depending on other conditions in other automations. For example when you are cleaning the house or a time difference between when the men is in the bathroom and not the womanā€¦ :wink::sweat_smile:

Hi there,

first let me say thank you for the nice blueprint!

At the moment i try to figure out how it works with night light / night glow and dynamic light. I have a Hue lightstripe at my stairs and want a night light or night glow at sunset and turn it off at a specific time.

Additionally i want a dynamic light as well during the night light / night glow time. Is that possible with one automation or do i need 2 or more automation ?

Cheers,
Kyle

Would it be possible to add a delay to the ambient settings?

On a day as today the sun is peeking around the clouds every now and then, causing my dinner table light going off and on. I already tweaked the lux values but it doesnā€™t help enough. If I can add a delay (maybe the same as the motion timeout?) to this that would be nice.

3851

Very interested in this project.

Hello,
first of all, I would like to thank you for this absolutely amazing blueprint. I have been using it for a very long time now, and itā€™s my favorite.
I do have a question that i hope you can shed some light into :slight_smile:

Iā€™m running the latest version of this blueprint, and for a very long time now i have an issue that lights turn off even if the group sensor is still turned on.

I have been running aqara fp2 and another motion sensor together in a group, as per advice, however if there is a prolonged activity within the area of motion, the lights nevertheless go off, even if the sensor group is still not cleared.

I have tried going with a bigger Time Delay of 10 minutes, however that also doesnā€™t help.

Iā€™m running a relatively simple setup of this blueprint with Light Control and Night lights. All other options are not used, and it works pretty well, unless there is a longer activity in the area.

I asked about the same thing here and it wasnā€™t planned though Blacky did give a workaround for it (though Iā€™m yet to implement it). :slight_smile:

3854

Something along the lines of that might be possible.

3855

I would like to have the option of more than one ā€˜State Controlā€™ entity. As an work-around, I have tried and failed to create a Group helper of more than one input-boolean entity instead. I think it should be possible but the UI doesnā€™t seem to allow it (the drop-down list when selecting create group does not include input-booleans).

3856

The blueprint does not seem to turn off the light automatically, if the light was turned on not by the trigger, but for example remotely using the dashboard.

Hello,

Isit possible to migrate this manual automation in your blueprint?

@Blacky, Iā€™m getting errors after updating HA to 2025.11, something with templates?
After reversing back to 2025.10.4 the errors where gone (but now I have issues with my database and really need to update to 2025.11)

Welcome to the community.

Yesā€¦ just add a toggle helper and use a voice command to turn that ON. You then can use the auto off bypass feature to turn it OFF in X amount of time for you.
