I have two garage doors (cover) which I want to turn on a lightbulb when they are open. This seems easy at first, but:
Thoughts on how to have the light turn on and stay on if any of the doors state is open?
what about showing us what you have done so far
dont forget the formating bro
here is Mine
- id: 'Garage Door Open Lights ON'
alias: Garage Door Open Lights ON
initial_state: true
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_door
platform: state
to: 'on'
for: '00:00:02' # reason for this is wind blows the door a bit.
- entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_side_door
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.day_night
state: Night
- condition: state
entity_id: light.garage
state: 'off'
action:
- data:
entity_id: light.garage
service: light.turn_on
- delay: 00:10:00
- data:
entity_id: light.garage
service: light.turn_off
Then your automation to turn the light when door 1 closes needs a condition to test door 2.
It’s a simple node red automation. Just don’t know how to keep the light on when both doors are open then a door closes.
Any example with NR?
I think I may be all set. If I add both doors to a group in hassio, then use the state of the group that’ll accomplish when I’m looking for.
What you are trying to accomplish requires basic AND / OR logic gates. In NR you can install “node-red-contrib-bool-gate” from the pallete manager to use this option.
Example below is for an AND gate… just change the inputs to reflect your door sensor(s)

Sorry I didn’t see this was tagged node red. That puts me out of here. Simple automation in ha.
