Best logic to automate bedroom lights

It’s straight forward:

Allow selection of the disable switch:

input("disabled", "capability.switch", title: "Select switch to disable motion", required: false, multiple: false

Subscribe to the disable switch in initialize():

subscribe(disabled, "switch", disabledHandler)

disabledHandler(evt) does this:

state.motionDisabled = evt.value == "on"

Then, in all of the methods that handle motion events, simply add this at the beginning of each:

if(state.motionDisabled) return

And, be sure to initialize state.motionDisabled in initialize():

state.motionDisabled = (disabled) ? disabled.currentSwitch == "on" : false

This assumes you are handling all of the motion events in the app.
