Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into automations lately and wanted to share a neat solution I found for preventing unintended triggers. I’ve noticed that my kitchen lights sometimes brighten up unexpectedly when I adjust the dimmer switch, which is within the motion detector’s view. It’s a bit annoying, but I figured out a clever workaround using hue_events!
Initially, I considered setting up an input_boolean that temporarily disables the automation after a switch press, but I thought a hue_event condition would be more straightforward. After some experimentation, I created a secondary automation that activates when the dimmer switch is pressed. This temporarily disables the motion detector automation for a few seconds, giving me enough time to adjust the lights without triggering the full brightness.
It’s been working perfectly so far! I’d love to hear if anyone else has encountered similar issues or has other creative solutions. Let’s keep the brainstorming going!
