on my dashboard I have added the persons of the house, and added the mobiles as tracker. This works fine, the status reflects “Home” or “Away” correctly. Now I wanted this to trigger a heater, but it never triggers the automation… this is the yaml:
alias: A_Aaron_weg_Heizung_low
description: “”
triggers:
am I doing something wrong?
hello Lars,
The way you can figure out what the problem is here is look at developer - state for
and see that the value is and what it changes to when it changes.
You will see a number that represents the number of people home. Use the number to trigger off of if you want to know when someone is home or not.
I can already see if someones home, also zone.home state seems to correctly count. But I want to activate something when a specific person leaves
Then you want to use a state trigger with the person.whoever entity and use from: home
Any time that person’s state changes from home to anything else, the trigger will fire.
ok, but that doesn’t explain, why what I (clicked together) from the example doesn’t work? At least it felt like the right thing
