Set input_boolean if any light is on

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hi.

I want to set an input_boolean true, if any of the lights in the house turns on (Can be turned on from hue/app or directly from IHC)

And only turn input_boolean off if all lights are turned off.

Plan was to use it with presence detection and bayesian sensor.

So far i only have the following snippet

[group.all_lights] is already a boolean that track lights and works exactly like you asked

Hi

Thanks for your reply! It has the function described, and thank you for that!
However, running into a small problem. I have all light groups from IHC on, so they would make a false positive on group.all_light.

They are on to keep power on the hue bulps.
Also the added benefit that if hassio crash, holding an IHC contact down for 2 sec toggle the IHC output, sort of failsafe.

You can try to create a custom group with only the lights you want to track which will function as group.all_lights. Would be the easiest way.

Another option is to use the binary sensor template
