Why doesnt it trigger the automation

Configuration
,
1

I’ve made a family group.
And in the logs i can see it functions correctly and gets set to away from home.
But my automation doesnt seem to trigger…
Any help would be much appreciated.

I would like it trigger when we’ve both left home, dont care where we are…

Code:
alias: Vacuum
description: “”
triggers:

  • trigger: state
    entity_id:
    • group.family
      to: null
      from: Home
      conditions:
      actions:
  • device_id: b94722d480f3c77d2286b5b07373815e
    domain: vacuum
    entity_id: a9ea1f795cc9b867b4c6102871a4e13e
    type: clean
    mode: single

old school groups (group.xxx entities) use old school states.

home, not_home and the Zone name. You’ve used Home and that is likely your problem.

You write old school groups. How to make “new” groups? :slight_smile:

4

Through the UI, settings → integrations → helpers tab → create helper group.

5

Then it asks for all these kinds of groups, Binary, button etc. etc.
But I can’t see any “persons” group?

Had already tried looking there, but I gave up since I didn’t see a matching one for users :frowning:

Then you’ll have to stick with old school groups and deal with their state accordingly. I.e. use home not, Home.

Danm, just hoped there was a better way to pool users into groups, other than “old school way”.

Thanks for the info though :grinning:
