It looks like whenever all presence sensors are gone from the house, the house is set to away mode and everything is turned off.
The problem is, I have a dog at home that I want to keep a light on for him, even though it’s not really needed. I have a setting that would turn the a light on after sunset when away, but if I leave the house at night, all the lights simply shuts off. What’s the best way to do this?
Use my modified code from ImBrian to have it be able to set away day and way night modes as well as Home Day and Home Night modes. Just setup 4 dieffernt modes to trigger and then have an app trigger what ever you want when the mode changes to that specific mode.

}I did something similar, but I set up different “modes” under the home section of the app (Day Home, Day Away, Evening Home, Evening Away, etc.).
Then under “Hello Home”, I added several change modes and set them to only work during different modes that I already set up (You can set it to turn lights off only when both people have left the house and have them only come on when it’s evening and not during the day time.). A little cumbersome, but once you get the hang of it and use a little logic of when you want something to happen, it’s not so bad. It doesn’t require any programming at least.
I tried the coding with the mysmartapp first. The problem with using existing apps is that you’re really limited in what you can do. And trying to find an app, and knowing what they do and what they can’t is burdensome. We need some sort of rule building rather than standard apps… and why can’t they call it scenes like everyone else to reduce the confusion?
