WTH it can not autodisable automations when I turn on/off a light manually?

Month of "What the heck?!"

Sometime we need temporary disable a automation that control a disable when manually turn on/off.

I think we need a simple way to set a automation can be “auto disable” if a selected disable is controlled manually.

For example, if I have a corridor light controlled by automation that detect movement, if a turn on/off the light from the switch, the automation must be disabled for some time.

The automations must have a advance config option to set entities that if they are manually controlled, the automation must be disabled until a specific trigger (time, the entity turn off, next day…)

You can set this up with an automation.
The trigger context should contain what triggered the light.

Um… And how I can detect who turn on the light?

I know I have seen a better post about it, probably by Petro, Taras or Tom. But can’t find it.

In my experience this is currently not very straightforward, the context is not consistent. I think there’s a WTH already there for improving the context, with similar use case in mind.
