great dummies way to setup home bridge for your pi

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/homebridge-...1123183713?mt=8

they have several good plugins to assist in setup. works flawless with harmony hub, at least i can now activate a scene rather than individual devices on Siri

the interface is also great for troubleshooting for techies too with built in terminal and log reports

I hv the following code on my auto off automation file :

- id: '1599010718004'
  alias: Auto off Bathroom4
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.pir_down_bathroom,binary_sensor.bathroom_4_door_sensor
    for: 0:10:00
    platform: state
    to: 'off'
  action:
  - entity_id: switch.sonoff_10008d8ef2_2
    service: switch.turn_off
  mode: single

Question is the automation will off the switch when both trigger is in off state for 10 min or any one trigger is in off state for 10 min? If it is the later, how to do it for both trigger?

in my scenario, only when you go in to toilet light turn on with motion sensor, door open or close not important

entity_controller:

motion_toilet: # serves as a name
sensor: binary_sensor.toilet_motion_sensor_occupancy # [motion sensors]
sensor_type: duration # sensor type (can ignore this if your sensor is instant)
entity: light.toilet # [light switch]
override: binary_sensor.toilet_door_invert # door is closed (door sensor) over rides timer
delay: 60 #overwrites default delay of 180s
start_time: sunset - 00:15:00 # optional
end_time: sunrise + 00:15:00 # optional
end_time_action: "off" # will turn off all control entities if they are on.


sometimes you go in wash hands only no need wait so long to turn of light. however if u do number 2 or shower and dont close door the light might turn off

then setup automation to turn off the toliet light when door is open after waiting for say 10 seconds.

works great for me.

Wow....need some time to digest this... Thanks for your help.

still got some kinks like sometimes forget to turn on heater and open door to turn heater on then light will off until detect motion again in my automation scenario. still trying to figure that scenario out. but it was a long road without entity controller. this plugin really makes our automation rule creation so much easier. Check out his video for better understanding is pretty powerful.

Guys can I ask if there is any way for me to get Aqara switches to work with Alexa?

Might not be the easiest and straight forward way but works for me. Get them install on Home Assistant. You can ditch their hub and use zigbee2mqtt with something like conbee2 or zzh! stick then either pay Nabu Casa or check out youtube on how to integrate Alexa with Home Assistant, not too difficult if you are technically incline.
