Possible to Enable/Disable Automations

Doyouknowmadmax — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 12:26:02 GMT

Hi there,

Is it possible to design an Automation (Through script) to turn off/on other automations (Like arming them)

Case: On Sunset enable XYZ Automation

So then, when XYZ Automation criterias are met, they will action accordingly

Case: On Sunrise disable XYZ Automation

This way Presence sensing will only turn lights on when arriving home etc

I think for this you would just need to add a condition to your automation that only allows it to run between certain times,

  condition:
    type: time.between
    after: SUNSET
    before: SUNRISE

Hello Doyouknowmadmax,

Happy to hear that @afuller was able to help! It looks like we can consider this one complete, so I will lock the thread shortly unless I can help out with anything else.

Cheers,
