I’ve been trying for a while to create an automation for turning a smart bulb (Tapo) on/off based on motion detected by a sensor (Ikea Zigbee motion sensor).
What do I want to achieve? I want to turn on the light (in the bathroom) between 7 PM and 12 AM at a brightness of 70%, and between 12 AM and 7 AM at a brightness of 10%, when the motion sensor detects presence. After detecting motion, the light should turn on for 2 minutes and then turn off.
I tried the following script, but i cant save it because it gave me the error " Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘trigger’] "
description: "Turn on the light on motion, turn off after no motion for 2 minutes."
mode: restart
trigger:
