Add email notification to Motion Activated Light Blueprint?

[shy yew]

Hello - I am trying to add an email notification to a motion sensor / light. I have tried for a while with ChatGPT but that isnt working correctly.

alias: Motion-activated Light-HomeOffice-
description: ""
use_blueprint:
path: homeassistant/motion_light.yaml
input:
motion_entity: binary_sensor.rk_homeoffice_closet_motion
light_target:
entity_id: light.home_office_closet_main_lights

This is the basic one which is part of HA.

When i add code to add the email - it sends the email but the light doesnt go on.

alias: Home Office - closet 1 - Motion-activated Light
description: ""
actions:

• data:
  title: RTJ Home Office Closet - Motion Detected
  message: >
  Motion sensor detected movement at {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d
  %H:%M:%S') }}.
  action: notify.gmail
  use_blueprint:
  path: homeassistant/motion_light.yaml
  input:
  motion_entity: binary_sensor.rk_homeoffice_closet_motion
  light_target:
  entity_id: light.home_office_closet_main_lights
  no_motion_wait: 57

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press 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.

Hi @shy yew,
Seriously, don't do that.

I have tried for a while with ChatGPT but that isnt working correctly.

That is a mess and noone can help you with it.

If you want to change a blueprint, you need to change the blueprint, not the automation that calls the blueprint. All you can do while creating the automation is change the inputs, code is already locked in.

There are many derivations on the motion sensor blueprint, I suggest searching the Home assistant Forum blueprint exchange and see if there is something there that already has what you want or that can be tweaked to what you want.
