Bath mode

[atterdal]

Hi,

Today i have a simple solution that overrides the "off" automation if i activate the "bath time" mode. Then the automation starts over next time it detects motion (by deactivating the bath time-mode)

Would something like this be possible to add?

Ah I call this the "shower case" and this is covered already :D This was implemented after my girlfriend had the first shower with AutoMoLi enabled :D Do you have a humidity sensor (often integrated in temperature sensors) in your bathroom? You can then set a humidity_threshold in config - if this is reached/passed (like when you have shower), the lights will not switched off :) To find a suiteable value for your home, I suggest looking at your graphs. The spikes when someone is having a shower are very clear :)

I do, it doesn't work well though. I have the aeotec multisensor 6.

Haven't understood if it doesn't work because it's "relative humidity" (heat and humidity rises at the same time). But I don't get any significant humidity rise until i open the door (cold air comes in). It could also be because it's a new house and the ventilation is to good (the mirrors barely fog up)

I have it recessed mounted in the ceiling, thought the was the reason first but tried another one and with the same result.

Hence, the bath time button 😊

Okay, sounds reasonable... What do you think about an input_boolean, like the disable_switch_entity? That should do the job and should be easy to use from Home Assistants Lovelace or any other source.

I have a sensor on the pipe going to the shower, when this detected water flow it mark a shower in use Boolean to on, which could then be used to hold the lights on, fan on etc. Is this an option

Input_boolean would be great for my use case as well. Then I could trigger it with two automations. One that turns Input_boolean of of "Bath Time" is activated and one that turns it back on when it detects motion again if Bath Time is activated.

The Input_boolean solution should be possible since a very long time now. Feel free to reopen if this is still an issue.
