What and how would be the best option to make/group/ add some automation to an vacation mode when, i decide to be or when i leave the zone to go out of the country?

quick scroll
#

Create an input boolean named vacation_mode

and how do i use exactly after?🤔

#

havent used helpers much sorry

Then you use them in state conditions

#

The automation only runs if the boolean is on, or off, or whatever you want

wow thats easier than i thought, so smart damnn

#

you could even use it after with if you leave the home it will turn on the toggle

quick scroll
#

Or use proximity to turn it on when you're more than X Km from home, and off when you're below that

#

Or use a calendar

gad damn bro, stop flexing. i feel so stupid by not knowing this simple stuff!

#

what about if, me and my mom are on vacation and my dad is at home, for work. How can i make it change and turn off automation beside the automation in need?

Presence detection

#

If people are home, turn off vacation mode

Right, so add that logic in the conditions

Another approach could be to label all your automations that should be turned off when vacation mode is on. Add an automation that turns off all those labeled automations when vacation mode turns to on and turns them back on when vacation mode turns off. I find this to be more transparent and easier to manage, as you don't have to mess with any pre-existing conditions in your automations and you can see in the automation overview what only works outside of vacation mode.
