I’m sorry I’m really new to Home Assistant and not a programmer. I’ve got most sensors and lights connected but having frustrations getting any automations going. I started with the Gui but couldn’t get the lights to turn on so then have been trying to use the automations.yaml directly to alter it.
2 questions (Thank you for any imput and sorry for the basic questions, i promise i’ve googled and looked at documents on home-assistant.io)
- Can you help me understand why this basic one that would turn a light on based off motion doesn’t fire?
- I can’t find much on “groups” in a perfect world I would like all the lights in my Family Room to turn on (Family Room) is what I named the Area Registry. Would that be like a group.Family_Room, or does the group have to be set up somewhere else?
