@Nimrod Is there a specific reason not to use stock firmware with native Shelly integration? Then configure the input to edge mode.

Is there something affordable with Thread?

@retrieval4558
Yes, I was referring to schedules where you cannot use the sun. Sun related automations work very reliably for me.

@retrieval4558
As far as I can see, you can’t use the position of the sun as trigger.

@semperverus
In European countries you only have live wire, never the ground, neutral in newer installations.
The switches don’t need ground as there is no exposed metallic component. Ground is needed where a human could be exposed to live (due to a fault) as it would trigger the breaker.

Shelly Pro 1PM that I had lying around. Reports Amps usage fast enough to allow me to cut off electrical heating before the breaker cuts off because of overload.
This results in washer and heating alternating their power usage without triggering the breaker.

Create a timer that you set to 5 minutes.
Create an automation with 3 triggers:

1. Motion is detected
2. Motion clear
3. Timer changes to idle

Choice of three actions:

When 1:
Switch light on
Cancel timer (this takes care of motion being detected again during the 5 minute delay)

When 2:
Start timer (And let’s wait for 5. Minutes for timer to end)

When 3:
Check that motion is clear (as motion also cancels the timer)
If so, switch light off

@barbarosa
For all those sensors (temp, current etc.) I always prefix the entity ID and friendly name with the area name.
I create areas like “kitchen fridge” or “garage fridge” to keep my stuff organized.

If yo use ZHA, you might try increasing the timeout for batterie powered devices in Network settings of ZHA integration
