got a light in the pantry want to come on when door open and kitchen lights on then off when door closed and if I turn kitchen light on and door open pantry light must come on

first problem get door sensor
my pick are

the 433mhz take a AA battery and have not let me down yet

there more than one way to skin this cat so this is my version
would love to see your guys version

so just write the trigger with no state then use choose to do the right thing

remember binary_sensor are on/off not a open/close its the class that makes it open/close

  alias: Sink pantry light with pantry door
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.panty_door
  action:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: binary_sensor.panty_door
              state: "on"
            - condition: state
              entity_id: light.kitchen
              state: "on"
          sequence:
            - service: switch.turn_on
              entity_id: switch.panty_lights
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: binary_sensor.panty_door
              state: "off"
          sequence:
            - service: switch.turn_off
              entity_id: switch.panty_lights

now the kitchen lights just trigger on the sate and use the choose and condition to get thing right

  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: light.kitchen
  action:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: binary_sensor.panty_door
              state: "on"
            - condition: state
              entity_id: light.kitchen
              state: "on"
          sequence:
            - service: switch.turn_on
              entity_id: switch.panty_lights
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id: light.kitchen
              state: "off"
          sequence:
            - service: switch.turn_off
              entity_id: switch.panty_lights

and yes someone will do it in one automation but this is my way of fixing the problem. fix write each automation to fix one problem and then add the condition(s) to fix it
