Hi, I just started using some more complex automations, and I can’t find a way to turn on lights when I’m in a room that has a presence + lux sensor for a long period of time.
What I have now is two triggers occupied and not occupied-> “then do” choose between two options: ON or OFF.

  1. On when lux below X AND presence occupied.
    No light when lux above X even when presence is detected.
  2. OFF when not occupied for 30 sec.

The issue I have is that if I go in the room when it’s bright and stay there until it goes dark the lights won’t come on.

I was thinking about another automation that checks whether the lux of low and the first automation is active or force the existing automation to rerun every other minute but I have no idea on how to do it.

Just add a separate trigger for changes to lux. That will trigger every time it changes and you can decide what to do

just use an entity state trigger
