💡 The Everything Light - Trigger a light any way and turn it on in any way

From your explanations, I understand that you have a trigger of ‘no movement detected’ to start the deactivation. I think this is what’s causing your issue.

I would work with a staircase timer in your case. That would start counting down from the moment movement is detected and be reset every time motion is detected again.

Still, this will not do the trick. If there is a room with continious movement the staircase function will be triggered and executed (there will be no switch of the trigger, which will stay enabled). I would assume that triggering it with “no movement detected” would be better in addition to the condition that all sensors in this area do currently not detect any movement. I already created that flow as an additional automation (which works) but it would be cool if it could be enabled in your template as well :slight_smile:

Hi - I think this will be a daft question, but hopefully someone will take pity and help. I can get this automation to run once when a trigger is fired (motion or door open) but that’s it. It’s set to Dynamic so my expectation is that it will continue to run dynamically adjusting the lights until the Off trigger is fired. Instead it runs once then stops.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

If your trigger doesn’t re-activate then the automation will run only once.
If you want something that runs continuously you can look into my other blueprint: Smart lux dimmer - Adjust light brightness depending on light sensor value

Ah yes, already got that one (which works a treat). I was looking for one single blueprint with extended facilities to do the whole thing - motion, dynamic light based on lux, colour temperature that changes through the day, and then switches the lights to red on motion at nighttime. I’ll keep looking, but thanks very much for this one.
