alexei.dolgolyov 7b00899903 Restructure repository: organize blueprints into folders
Each blueprint now has its own folder containing:
- blueprint.yaml: The automation code with a short header
- README.md: Detailed documentation extracted from headers

Updated CLAUDE.md with repository structure guidelines.

Motion Light Automation Blueprint

This blueprint creates a smart motion-activated light control system. It handles motion detection, luminance-based triggering, and manual override detection to provide intelligent lighting automation.

Features

  • Multiple motion sensor support (triggers on ANY sensor)
  • Condition switches (ALL must be ON for automation to work)
  • Multiple lights and/or switches control
  • Light groups and area-based targeting
  • Configurable timeout delay before turning off
  • Minimum on duration (prevents rapid on/off cycling)
  • Motion sensor debounce (filter false triggers)
  • Smooth light transitions with configurable duration
  • Luminance sensor support (only trigger in dark conditions)
  • Time-based conditions (only active during specified hours)
  • Day/Night mode (different light settings based on time)
  • Scene support (activate scenes instead of light parameters)
  • Dim before off (visual warning before turning off)
  • Manual override detection (stops automation if user changes light)
  • Brightness threshold (only trigger if light is dim)
  • Custom light parameters (brightness, color, etc.)
  • Callback actions for enable/disable/manual events
  • Debug notifications for troubleshooting

State Machine

The automation tracks these states via persistent storage:

State Value Description
NONE 0 Idle, waiting for motion
ENABLING 2 Light turn-on command sent, waiting for state change
ENABLED 1 Light is ON and controlled by automation
MANUAL 3 User took control, automation paused until light turns off

Behavior Notes

  • Will NOT turn on light if it's already ON (prevents hijacking user control)
  • If user changes light while automation is active, enters MANUAL mode
  • MANUAL mode exits when light is turned OFF (by any means)
  • Timeout delay only applies when turning OFF (motion cleared)
  • Time conditions support overnight windows (e.g., 22:00 to 06:00)
  • Day/Night mode uses separate time window from time conditions

Requirements

  • At least one motion sensor
  • input_text entity for persistent state storage
  • Target light(s), switch(es), group, or area to control
