Question about lock, keypad, and doorbell camera automation

I have a lock and keypad with a doorbell camera.

When the camera recognizes registered faces, it automatically unlocks the door.

The problem is: every time I leave home and press the “lock” button on the keypad, a few seconds later the camera detects my face and unlocks the door again.

How can I make it so that if I have just locked the door, the face recognition won’t unlock it again?

Hello @peledchen
Can you tell me what kind of lock you use and how you open it when you leave the house?

Hi @Raman.V
I have smart lock U200
And doorbell G4

The camera of the doorbell detects my face and I have an automation that opens the lock.
When I leave- I just lock it through the keyboard

Any advice?

Good , And what do you use to open from the inside?

I added a wireless mini switch T1, just to make it easyer for the kids to lock and unlock (short/long press)

you need to add some items to your automation that opens your lock from the T1 button after opening the lock.
after opening → turning off the automation that opens the lock by face —> delay (a convenient pause for you so that you can go out and close the door and move away from the G4 field of view) —> turning on the automation of opening by face.
Done.
try this option - it should work.
