I have a room using an EP One to detect presence and two Hue bulbs which it will activate. I also have the automation only turning on the lights if the illuminance of the room is below a certain value. If a person is sitting in the room when illuminance is above that value the lights are not turned on, that is expected. But if the person stays in the room and the light levels fall below the set illuminance levels, the lights stay off. The only way to activate the lights is for the person to leave the room for 15 seconds so the mmWave sensor sets occupancy to clear , and then re-enter the room. The lights come on.
Can anyone suggest a way of modifying the automation so that the person doesn't have to leave the room?

Then simply also trigger it when you want something to happen. Aka, it gets dark.
Change the automation to be:
triggers:
- Person enters the room
- Illumination goes below threshold
conditions: - Somebody is in the room
- Illumination below threshold
Triggers should be ALL possible moments you MIGHT want to do something 🙂
