Then you want a state trigger for each person entity

#

trigger:
- platform: state
  entity_id:
    - person.one
    - person.two
  to: 'home'

#

Your service call will be for switch.turn_on and the switch entity of the SmartThing switch

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

And it will be in action section ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

The service call will be

#

The trigger won't

placid oreBOT Jan 23, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

There are three sections to an automation:

trigger: When any one of these becomes true the automation starts processing. Only one trigger is ever responsible for starting an automation, if you make a condition that checks for more than one having started the automation then the condition can never be true.
condition: These are checked after a trigger starts the processing, and must be true for the automation to continue.
action: This is the part that does something, and can also include further conditions.

You can build all this in the UI editor

candid pecan You can build all this in the UI editor

Ok, i think i figured out and let me know if i wrong, i set in the UI and the config look like this alias: Familly Home
description: Familly Home
trigger:

platform: state
entity_id:
- device_tracker.alexandre_fraser
  to: home
  condition: []
  action:
service: switch.turn_on
data: {}
target:
device_id: 9752f5d2d36886b465f19572dba07019
mode: single

@rough saffron When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

The answer is ... try it and see 😉

placid oreBOT Jan 23, 2023, 7:47 PM

#

To test an automation there's three stages you can follow. Testing the action, the condition and action, and the whole automation:

Use Configuration -> Automations to find the automation and then push Run Actions. If this fails your problem is in the action: section, and details should be found in your log file
Use Developer tools -> Services and call automation.trigger on the automation with skip_condition: false. If the first passes but this fails then the problem is in your condition: block
Use Developer tools -> States to find the trigger entity, click the name, then change the state (at the top) to something that'll trigger the automation before pushing Set State. If this fails then the problem is with your trigger: section, or the automation is turned off (you can check that in Developer tools -> States).

You can also see this section in the docs and with HA 2021.4 onwards debug automations.

Look like works fine ! If i want to set off my switch i need to use Away instead Home for life360 ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

@rough saffron you don't

#

@rough saffron need to

#

@rough saffron tag me

#

As I already mentioned before

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

Oups sorry

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

#1067163520657010821 message

#

And you'd use not_home

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Ok and can we set a pooling time for automation or is set live by default ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

Use a time condition

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

Its look like a fixed time.
If I want when I arrive or I leave the house it executes the automation ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

Well, that's #1067163520657010821 message

#

I've no idea what "pooling time" means though

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

OK sorry, i just want to trigger a switchto on on smarthing when im arrive to home and switch off when im leaving with homeassistant. I not sure how to create that in the automation part in home assistant

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

Which part?

#

You've got the switch on already

#

description: Familly away
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - device_tracker.alexandre_fraser
    to: not_home
condition: []
action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      device_id: 9752f5d2d36886b465f19572dba07019
mode: single

#

That'll do it for you leaving

#

If you want to do it so that it only turns it on when the last person leaves, that's different

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

Ok so when another one will arrive or leave the trigger will execute automatically. I dont need to worry for the first time of last trigger run ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

You will have to add other entities to the trigger

#

But, that will fire when anybody leaves, even if somebody is still home

#

Hence

#

If you want to do it so that it only turns it on when the last person leaves, that's different

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

Perfect !

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

If you want when the last person leaves that'd be more like

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: zone.home
    below: 1

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

Does home assistant are able to read a event into ios or outlook calendar and trigger something about that ?

#

Like holiday days

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

There are calendar integrations

#

Nice, i was searching something to trigger a event into my calendar when kids have no school on specific date

#

Mmmm i did 2 routine one home one not home only for me. I try to run seperate and my switch turn on for home, and when i run the not home one my switch turn off. Is it normal !?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

Is what normal?

#

That the automations are doing what they're written to do?

#

i just want to trigger a switchto on on smarthing when im arrive to home and switch off when im leaving

#

You said that earlier

#

That's what the automations are doing

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

But they should look if im really at home or not ?

#

With the life sensor ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

Well, it's using the person entity, and whatever you have associated with it

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:43 PM

#

im using the device tracker instead like this ?

#

alias: Alex not home
description: Alex not home
trigger:

platform: state
entity_id:
- device_tracker.alexandre_fraser
  to: not_Home
  condition: []
  action:
service: switch.turn_off
data: {}
target:
device_id: ac9ed05d08238043a60c75680c8b76b1
mode: single

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

Well, not_Home isn't valid

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

Oh ! there is a way to know the exact value ?

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

blink

#

You mean... the value I told you to use before?

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:44 PM

#

yes

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

Sorry maybe i dont understand a principle here. Im home right now. if i run manually the not home automation. My switch should not switch off

#

right

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

If you manually run it, it runs the actions

#

So... yes, it turns off the switch

#

you told it to

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

Ooooh ! he doesnt look the condition !

candid pecan Jan 23, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

There's no condition
It still doesn't apply

rough saffron Jan 23, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

Thanks ! now i understand !

but i dont know how to do my IF

placid oreBOT Jan 26, 2023, 7:21 PM

@rough saffron To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Shift+Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.
