Hi there!

I'm a big fan of this blueprint, but i'm missing a feature that can solve an issue for me :)

Is it possible that you can add a condition that checkes if a phone "device_tracker" is in the zone "Home" before it does anything?

An example:

"motion_entity" triggered <From: off to :on>
condition: check if phone "device_tracker" is home:
If "home" execute what this blueprint normally would do (Turn on the light according to the scene selected)
if "not_home" or "away" execute nothing (Do not turn on the light)

I have tried to implement it myself, but after tons of failures i gave up.

Thanks in advance,
Rasmus

Hi I'm trying to use this code with Hue sensors, they rely on occupancy sensors not motion sensors and cannot be entered into your file. How do I input occupancy rather than motion into the blueprint.
Sorry if this is a stupid question
Thanks
