Like most, I have a bunch of automations for my lights. For instance, the kitchen lights are motion activated, and turn off if there has been no motion for three minutes. I move like a sloth though, thus the lights keep on turning off while I’m eating breakfast. Oppositely, my wife likes to eat in the dark, so she keeps swearing at the damn light turning on all the time.
So I wanted a “light state lock” but couldn’t find one, so I tried it myself and had some success using conditional cards, custom-fields and card-mod, but its extremely messy and doesn’t work all that well, and it looks terrible in the companion app.
There must be a simpler/better way of doing it (with scripts and templates?)!
Here are the scenarios, I might have forgotten one, but I think its clear how it should work. what I want to happen…
Someone must have already made this functionality, right? Or else, I would appreciate any helpful tip on how to make this work well, logically, and responsively at the same time.
