Unifi G4 DoorBell + Phillips hue Porch Light

[upper torrent]

• I’d like to have an automation that when my G4 Door Bell detects Motion the Porch Light sill turn on.

However these are the rules I’d like.

• From 8pm-5am
• Porch light stays on for only 60 seconds then turns off.

I keep getting close but still having some issues. If you need me to send the automation I created I’ll post later today.

Thank you

Thank you will do once I get home, instead of taking multiple shots on my phone.

oops drop down was missing -

Issue has been resolved

Needed less. And figured out the correct motion sensor option

Only needed sensor, time, and on and off

[desert crest]

okay but a note for the future, if you switch to yaml editor in the top right of the automation editor you can paste the code (inside triple backticks) for people to view easily. you can switch back and forth between yaml and visual editors easily.

thank you!

is there a reason my Device Id's are like that instead of a name

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.

[desert crest]

if you select the entity instead of the device it will be the entity name instead of the device ID, which makes things a lot easier to read

[upper torrent]

ah ok

[desert crest]

and as the formatting example shows, please encase code in triple backticks

[upper torrent]

better? @desert crest

i sent you the wrong copy and paste earlier by the way

so stupid of me

i legit just woke up sorry.

[desert crest]

no, you should paste the code but just put 3 backticks at the front and the back.

like this
this is great for code

[upper torrent]

oh when I paste in discord...

lol

[desert crest]

but yeah pointing at entity as better than device in most cases.

[upper torrent]

this is a test```

wtf am i doing wrong

[desert crest]

use backticks not quotes

`

[upper torrent]

LMAO

im using a ducky keyboard with 60 keys

forgot i have to Fn Esc

[desert crest]

makes stuff so much easier to read

will make life easier on the next one 🙂
