Turn On Switch When Only One Particular Presence is Detected and No one Else is Home

[pmusselman (Patrick Musselman)]

I found a simpler way of doing for the not so coding inclined type like myself.

I had to create two rules.

The first rules is to activate the switches when Person A or Person B leave while Person C is Present:
if any of these happen:
Person A Leaves
Person B Leaves

while ALL of these things are true:
Person A Is Not Present
Person B Is Not Present
Person C Is Present

then do these:
turn on x
turn on y
turn on z

Second rule is toe deactivate the switches on arrival of either Person A or Person B:
if any of these happen:
Person A arrives
Person B arrives

while ALL of these things are true:
blank

then do these:
turn off x
turn off y
turn off z

Pretty neat. Tested this afternoon with success!
