1) Give a description of the problem
I’m obviously missing the obvious but I’m stumped. I have a bunch of pistons that react and send notifications or announce status when doors open or motion is detected. I would like to silence them if location mode has just changed as this means I just pulled into the driveway and I already know there is (or will be) motion in the driveway, the garage door was opened, there is motion in the garage, the garage door was closed, etc.
I see how to use if presence changed in the last x seconds to determine whether or not to generate notifications. The problem is that presence changed only works when I come home. When I leave, my presence hasn’t changed so I get all of the notifications when I go into the garage, open the garage door, etc. What I would like to do is manually change the location to Away before I leave the house and use if location mode changed in the last x seconds to determine if notifications should be generated or not.
Can anyone explain what I’m missing here?
2) What is the expected behavior?
Use a recent change is location mode to determine if notifications should be generated.
3) What is happening/not happening?
I can’t figure out how to query location mode and determine if it changed in the last few minutes.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]
I started with garage door notifications but immediately realized this wouldn’t work when I leave as my presence won’t actually change until I’m gone.
5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
