I have door /.windows sensors set up to turn strip on or off when door is open however when the strip is on and the door opens it changes colour as meant to and then goes off. when shut. I need it to stay on when on but work on/off when off. any ideas

You can use the AND section to add a condition that activates the LED strip only when it’s off. Then it won’t change the current color when it’s already on.

Additionally, you can create another automation that is enabled only if the LED was lit on automatically.

Examples:

  1. Automation that turns the LED off (remember to check “trigger once”)

  1. Automation that turns the LED on (only if it’s off). Note: this automation enables the first automation from my example.

This way, the LED won’t change color when they were manually turned on before you opened/closed the door. And because the first automation is only enabled AFTER the LEDs were automatically turned on, then it won’t turn your LEDs off on you.
