I would like to activate motion sensors using Google Routines.
For example. On my patio, I don’t want any action from my motion sensors.
When I run my “Goodnight” routine, I want to activate the motion sensor so that it turns lights on when motion is sensed.
I’m thinking it would be best to use modes and then limit the automation in question to certain modes. For example your Goodnight routine could enable “X” Mode, then your lighting automation can limited to run only in “X” Mode.
I created a new SmartThings mode called Bed Mode.
The sensor will only turn the lights on when this mode is active.
Now, in my Google Bed Time Routine, I’ve added “Turn on bed mode”
In my morning routine, I’ve added “Turn on day mode”
