Refreshing a 2022 WTH entry.
When trying to build an automation via the UI, I’m not able to change areas for devices (and entities):
description: ""
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- sensor.mysensor_estimated_distance
attribute: source
to: "\"FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF\""
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 5
seconds: 0
condition: []
action:
# here ideally we would be able to programmatically change the area for the device either:
# A) device.move_area_to: area_id
# B) call_service 'area_change' device_id area_id
# C) area.remove / area.add device_id
# whichever is more architecturally sound
data: {}
