How To Use Motion Sensors Correctly In Home Assistant

Detecting motion can be tricky if you have multiple motion sensors in the same room or if motion sensors have a certain dependency on each other. In this Home Assistant tutorial, I explain how you can best set up motion sensors and make automations based on a number of use cases so that they work perfectly for every use case.

⭐ Extra Use Cases: ⭐
Use Case 4: Turn off the lights if someone approached the house and decides not to go in.
Currently, in Use Case 2, if someone approaches the house, the lights outside and inside turn on. If he decides not to enter the house,
only the outside light will turn off. To fix this use case, we have to add a Helper Group of type binary sensor to Home Assistant. Let's call the Helper Group "all motion sensors hall". Add the motion sensor for the hall outside and the motion sensor for the hall inside to this group. Leave the setting "All entities" to off.
Use Case 5: Turn off the lights if someone only enters the boiler room, does not enter the garage, and goes back upstairs.
Currently, in Use Case 3, if someone enters the boiler room, the lights in the staircase, boiler room, and garage turn on. If he decides not to enter the garage, only the light in the boiler room and staircase will turn off. The light in the garage will stay turned on. To fix this use case, we have to add a Helper Group of type binary sensor to Home Assistant. Let's call the Helper Group "all motion sensors". Add the motion sensor for the staircase, the boiler room, and the garage to this group. Leave the setting "All entities" to off.
