Fireplace control based on presence with Google Home integration


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I am looking to create a piston that only allows the fireplace to be turned on if I or my wife are at home (keep the college kid from burning up my gas bill) using a MIMOLite controller. The attached is not complete as I know what the outcome will be: If using the switch on event of the piston will re-trigger the piston to cause a switch off event.

2) What is the expected behavior?
If my wife or I am home, and either the switch is flipped or home automation is used to turn on the fireplace, it will turn on. Otherwise, nothing happens

3) What is happening/not happening?
The fireplace keeps cycling on and off

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

Shoot. How do I do that?

Either way, I found a simple solution by using a previousAge condition.
