Have been exploring using HA in AirBNB/rental properties and one of the issues is providing guests privacy, when they would like to. Basically they can select the privacy level of the house, and automation turn off cameras / tracking / etc. This seems like it might be a more generalized concept for HA.
Here is the basics of what I have setup…with automation triggered off the binary sensor states.
privacy_mode:
name: Home Privacy Mode
options:
- Normal
- Guest
- Private
initial: Normal
binary_sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
privacy_mode_normal:
unique_id: privacy_mode_normal
value_template: >-
{{ is_state('input_select.privacy_mode', 'Normal') }}
privacy_mode_guest:
unique_id: privacy_mode_guest
value_template: >-
{{ is_state('input_select.privacy_mode', 'Guest') }}
privacy_mode_private:
unique_id: privacy_mode_privacy
value_template: >-
{{ is_state('input_select.privacy_mode', 'Private') }}
