First posting here, please be gentle; I barely understand using the HA GUI and have even less experience with yaml, but here goes anyway.
I’ve looked at several posts, most to all providing good details but aren’t addressing the specificity of my topic. Not sure if my topic is relative to yaml in HA or the sensor itself.
I have two PIR sensors (setup with ESPhome in HA) functioning as triggers turning on led stair lights (one at the top & bottom of the stairs). This setup is functional and works. The problem I’m trying to resolve, is when another person follows directly after me, the PIR sensor detects the next person, which turns off the lights.
I’m seeking help to figure out how to get the sensors to stop detecting motion for a brief amount of time (i.e. 4 or 5 seconds); still allowing the lights to turn on for the existing HA Helper: Timer (15 seconds). I’m not sure if the HA automation can do it, or if the actual PIF sensors need to be coded. Either way, I have no idea how to make this kind of specific adjustment.
