# Common Home Assistant Automation Patterns
|
|
|
|
## Motion-Activated Lighting
|
|
|
|
Turn on lights when motion detected, turn off after no motion:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: "Motion Light - Hallway"
|
|
id: motion_light_hallway
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- trigger: state
|
|
entity_id: binary_sensor.hallway_motion
|
|
to: "on"
|
|
condition:
|
|
- condition: state
|
|
entity_id: sun.sun
|
|
state: "below_horizon"
|
|
action:
|
|
- action: light.turn_on
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: light.hallway
|
|
- wait_for_trigger:
|
|
- trigger: state
|
|
entity_id: binary_sensor.hallway_motion
|
|
to: "off"
|
|
for:
|
|
minutes: 5
|
|
- action: light.turn_off
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: light.hallway
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Time-Based Automation
|
|
|
|
Execute actions at specific times:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: "Morning Routine"
|
|
id: morning_routine
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- trigger: time
|
|
at: "07:00:00"
|
|
condition:
|
|
- condition: state
|
|
entity_id: binary_sensor.workday
|
|
state: "on"
|
|
action:
|
|
- action: light.turn_on
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: light.bedroom
|
|
data:
|
|
brightness: 50
|
|
- action: cover.open_cover
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: cover.bedroom_blinds
|
|
- action: climate.set_temperature
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: climate.bedroom
|
|
data:
|
|
temperature: 21
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sunset/Sunrise Automation
|
|
|
|
React to sun position:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: "Lights at Sunset"
|
|
id: lights_at_sunset
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- trigger: sun
|
|
event: sunset
|
|
offset: "-00:30:00" # 30 min before sunset
|
|
action:
|
|
- action: light.turn_on
|
|
target:
|
|
area_id: living_room
|
|
data:
|
|
brightness: 180
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Presence Detection
|
|
|
|
React to people arriving/leaving:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
- alias: "Welcome Home"
|
|
id: welcome_home
|
|
trigger:
|
|
- trigger: state
|
|
entity_id: person.john
|
|
from: "not_home"
|
|
to: "home"
|
|
action:
|
|
- action: light.turn_on
|
|
target:
|
|
area_id: entrance
|
|

|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: climate.living_room
|
|
data:
|
|

|
|
message: "Welcome home, John!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Temperature-Based Climate Control

|
|
below: 19
|
|
condition:
|
|
- condition: state
|
|
entity_id: person.john
|
|
state: "home"
|
|
action:
|
|
- action: climate.set_hvac_mode
|
|
target:
|
|
entity_id: climate.living_room
|
|
