Wall switch

Configuration
1

Hi here,

I have created an automation for a 2 wall switch. The automation should disable the motion automation and turn light on for two different lamps.
This is worked, but when I switch off the left or right switch, both side goes to off and I dosen’t understand why.

The state switches to off, bit in my opinion it should be difference between light.moes_flur_kueche_schalter_light & light.moes_flur_kueche_schalter_light_2
which it does not.
Can you please help me to understand why?

TIA Micha

It kind of looks like the automation is repeating itself because your triggers are for either light changing and then the automation itself is changing the light. Now it’s a single method, so technically it should’t be possible but you are also using IF statements that would continue to evaluate after the previous IF statement made a change.

A few things you could try:

  • Break this into two different automations
  • Use trigger ID’s on the triggers and then include in your IF statements only if a particular trigger ID caused the automation to fire
  • Use CHOOSE instead of IF so you run only one set of actions per run of the automation

The low hanging fruit would be to duplicate the automation and just use one per trigger and if that works then refining the original with CHOOSE or trigger ID’s might be the answer (or just leaving it as two automations).

hey,

thanks you, for your hints.

Split it to two automations work, change it to the choose option has the same problem as the if possibility. Since I don’t understand why for both

maybe the problem is that the switch entities are quite equal with
light.moes_flur_kueche_schalter_light & light.moes_flur_kueche_schalter_light_2

I will test it with the trigger id, when I have understand how it worked.

Thanks.

Edit trigger ids is working in the original automation fine
