I have this automation that I am using multiple places, but is there a way to make it into a scrip and then pass in some variables?
I would like to replace the following with variables:

Why not simply consolidate the multiple automations?
How would that be done, via trigger-ids?

It uses a dictionary called detectors. Each key in the dictionary is the object_id of the three binary_sensors (motion detectors). Each key contains information specific to that detector.
The automation’s action simply uses the detector’s information to turn on/off the appropriate light and set it to the correct level based on the period of the day.
Correction. Overlooked to include the third binary_sensor in the State Trigger.
Correction. Changed template from {{ light }} to {{ detector.light }}
Thanks a lot! It seems to work in regards to turn on the devices, but doesn’t seem to turn them off again.
I haven’t found “Detectors” before, is that a new concept?

doesn’t seem to turn them off again
Check the automation’s trace .
The automation State Trigger triggers when the binary_sensor’s state changes from on to off.
The condition will pass if the binary_sensor’s object_id exists as one of the keys in the detectors dictionary (it should pass).
Because the binary_sensor is off, the value of trigger.to_state.state will be off. Therefore it will serve to fulfill the second choice in the choose which turns off the associated light and input_boolean.
detectors is simply the name I chose for the variable containing the dictionary. It’s an abbreviation of Motion Detectors.
Okay I did a review, and I think this is where the problem was:
entity_id: ‘{{ light }}’ which I replaced with entity_id: “{{ detector.light }}” as you had used further op.

Good catch! I missed that one.
I have corrected the example posted above.
Yes, I am trying to understand how it actually works, as I think your method is really neat, so I could see myself use that other places also.
This part: value_template: “{{ trigger.to_state.object_id in detectors.keys() }}” what does that actually do? It goes to the trigger part and then afterward to the detector part and the corrosponding key?
So for the first example it goes to this trigger: “- binary_sensor.gang_sensor_home_security_motion_detection” and then the corrosponding key in detector part is “gang_sensor_home_security_motion_detection”?
Is this a bit the same under action: " detector: “{{ detectors.get(trigger.to_state.object_id, none) }}” does that go to the correct variable and then get the ID of each of the variables ready for use further on?
Last question, what does the “100” do in this one? brightness_pct: “{{ detector.modes.get(states(‘sensor.day_interval’), 100) }}”
Sorry for the many questions, and once again thanks for the support

An entity’s entity_id is composed of a domain and an object_id separated by a period.
binary_sensor.kitchen_occupancy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
domain object_id
The following Template Condition checks if the object_id of the entity that triggered the State Trigger exists as one of the keys in the detectors dictionary.
{{ trigger.to_state.object_id in detectors.keys() }}
It serves as a safeguard to prevent errors in case you add another binary_sensor to the State Trigger but forget to add a corresponding key (and other information) for that new entity in the dictionary.
The detector variable is set to the dictionary key, in the detectors dictionary, that corresponds to the binary_sensor that triggered the State Trigger. It does that using the following template:
{{ detectors.get(trigger.to_state.object_id, none) }}
If there’s no matching key, the value of detector is set to the default value none (which is a null object). It’s unlikely it will ever be set to none because the automation’s condition has already confirmed there’s a matching key. However, it’s good practice to specify a default value.
The 100 in the following template represents the default value that will be reported if there’s no matching key found in the modes dictionary. In this case, if the value of sensor.day_interval can’t be found, the light’s brightness is set to 100. Feel free to change the default value to whatever brightness level you think is best for your needs.
{{ detector.modes.get(states('sensor.day_interval'), 100) }}

I have tried to extend the automation a bit, since one of the rooms should only react if an input boolean is on, but for the others it should always work. I then tried to add this boolean to the variables as a “dummy”, but that doesn’t seem to work, any inputs?

It works just fine for the one using the actual input boolean, but the ones with
rooms_aut: "on"
does not work.
Is it possible to make it work, or alternatively in the condition define it to check the condition if valid in the dictionary and if not set it to “on” as default?

For the one room room that uses an input_boolean, the variable rooms_aut uses a template like this:
rooms_aut: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.aut_rooms', 'on') }}"
For the other two rooms, it’s simply this:
rooms_aut: true
The condition for choose now only needs to check if the value of rooms_aut is true and that can be done with this simple template (EDIT - corrected):
- "{{ detector.rooms_aut }}"
Here’s the revised automation:

Correction. The template should reference detector.rooms_aut not rooms_aut which is not a standalone variable but a part of the detector variable.
Thanks! I can’t get it to trigger, it seems like the variable is evaluated to true, but that the condition does not respond to it?

Did you use the Automation Editor to create/modify the automation? It has a habit of changing boolean values to strings. In other words, it can change rooms: true to rooms: 'true' which will then fail to work properly in the Template Condition. Check the automation and confirm the boolean value is still boolean and not string.
I did, but if I check the automation in VS code it seems like true is correct:

What does the automation’s trace report?
I have set your answer as solution.
