adding 'latching' behaviour to a motion controlled light

here is my exisitng yaml

hmm,

I guess i could have a and if boolean is 0

and then have a seperate automation that if the light is switch, toggle light and set helper to 1, and reset helper at sunup -1 minute

Ok, I think this will work

The first automation is relatively unchanged, except it checks the state of a boolean, if false it proceeds like normal

I've added this as a second automation

alias: Rear door switch
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.sonoff_10023cecd4_action
    to: single
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: switch.toggle
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.sonoff_10023cecd4_1
  - action: input_boolean.turn_on
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: input_boolean.rear_door_light_toggle
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - trigger: sun
        event: sunrise
        offset: 0
  - action: input_boolean.turn_off
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: input_boolean.rear_door_light_toggle
mode: single

I'd love to have this combined into a single automation... But that's a challange for next time

Think I can do it via building blocks
