I’m trying to create a condition that if all my FP1E sensors sense no presence (absence) then turn off lights. I’m using them in my basement and need four of the FP1E sensors to cover the entire basement. But I only want the lights to turn off when all sensors show absence. I can’t do that with the automation engine. It only allows for ‘any’ condition or in sequence. Am I missing something?
Yes, you’re not able to configure “all” condition, because there needs to be at least one independent trigger that “wakes” the automation.
But you can add all your presence sensor “absense” as “any”. So any absence triggers this automation.
Add the same conditions to “AND”. “AND” is just an additional condition checked when the automation is triggered.
This way, the condition will be triggered by ANY presence sensor sensing absence (which may happen multiple times) but will be run only if ALL presence sensors sense absence (as specified by the AND section).
The screenshot shows an example of what I’m talking about. The first section basically defines the triggers that wake this automation up, but it will only run if AND is true (all sensors detected absence)

I can’t believe I missed that.
