Trigger vacuume if away but only once

rormeister · September 12, 2023, 10:20am

Hi all,

I have an automation setup to vacuum daily at 10 am and to skip rooms that have a specific person at home (i.e. if I am at home, it will skip my office for vacuum. If my wife is at home, it will skip her office for vacuuming, etc). This works great.

I want to add another option to vacuum the whole house when we are all away but only once as there is no point continually doing this every day (e.g. if we go on holiday or away for multiple days).

Any ideas how I could do this?

Here is my current code -

Don’t know about the dreamebot_d10_plus integration, but I’m using a helper to achieve similar. Here is the full automation for both Vacuum Cleaners, including ‘some more’ like vacuuming at specific moments, night, and on coming home based on proximity:

You could create an input helper toggle called “house_is_clean” and as part of your existing automation you can turn the toggle on when it runs the new choose block when nobody is home. You can then create another automation to turn the toggle off when either person changes from not_home to home.

Unrelated, but be aware that the state “not_home” actually means “not in any defined zone”. If you define a zone called “work” for example, your automation would not work as expected when you are at work. What you should do is use a “not” condition, and then use the state condition for being home.
