I have two presence detectors, one in living room and one in bedroom. I want to run a specific flow which sets all users to sleep when the detector in the bedroom is activated while the other in the living room is deactivated. I don’t want it to run when there is presence detection in the living room, and if my wife is late to bed (1-2 hours after me), I want it to run as soon as she leaves the living room. I can’t seem to find any clever solution to set this up. I understand that it is not possible to run one trigger each “presence” and “no presence” and link them to ALL. I only get it to run a flow as long as both criterias are met when the trigger has started,. How can I easily solve this? ---

Sensors will never be activated at the same time, so you should use several flows with combinations of triggers and states like WHEN sensor 1 is activated AND sensor 2 is active THEN …. WHEN sensor 2 is activated AND sensor 1 is active THEN …… Etc In advanced flows you might combine this simple flows. ---

Ok thank you. I ended up making multiple triggers as well as if not criteria is met, delay for some minutes and check again. So far it looks like this works great. ---

You might not need delays if you also trigger on deactivation: 1 WHEN sensor1 is deactivated AND sensor2 is true 2 WHEN sensor1 is deactivated AND sendor2 is false 3 WHEN sensor2 is deactivated AND sensor1 is true 4 WHEN sensor2 is deactivated AND sensor 1 is false You can even combine 1 and 2, 3 and 4: WHEN sensor1 is deactivated AND sensor2 is true THEN … ELSE … WHEN sensor2 is deactivated and sensor1 is true THEN … ELSE … ---

Ok thanks. There is by default set a delay for the presence sensor to deactivate (a couple of minutes), I think this is to prevent turning off devices if there is a short period of time the sensor is unable to detect presence. (So my devices won’t turn off when they’re not supposed to). Therefore I need a delay to check again after some time that the presence sensor really is off. ---

It won’t hurt to check again. However when the second check of the sensor is different from the first check, I suppose it would cause a trigger as the sensor state has changed and one of the flows shall be triggered.
