Use Case-
I want the
lights to turn on when someone is present in the office and lux value is less than <30 and
turn off when no presence detected and
also turn off when presence is detected and lux value is greater than i.e., >30 (meaning there is enough day light in the room)

First you set up the Zone Presence of People & Devices Blueprint and use the Presence Helper Option. This will turn ON the helper when someone is present in the office (zone). You have to track them so you know if someone is at the office (zone). Can you do this? If you don’t know how to do this then maybe ask under that blueprint thread.

If you can track them then you would use the Sensor Light blueprint. You would then copy and past the Presence helper (toggle helper) entity ID into the trigger and set up your lights. That will turn ON the light whenever someone is in the office.

Next your condition is to only turn the lights ON if the lux sensor is below 30. To do this use the Ambient condition in the sensor light blueprint (not this smart light blueprint but the sensor light blueprint). Add you lux sensor in and set your Low Lux Value to 30 and your High Lux Value to 60 (you need to decide this setting).

Now you lights will only come ON if someone is in the office and your lux sensor is below 30.
