This is a fork of https://github.com/jseidl/hass-magic_areas building on this base.

Tired of writing the same automations, over and over, for each of your rooms? You wish Home Assistant just figured out all entities you have in an area and magically started being smarter about them?

Simply Magic Areas is the batteries that were missing! Would like to have a single motion sensor that is grouped to all your other motion sensors in that area? What if all (most) of your sensor and binary_sensor entities had aggregates (grouping/average), PER AREA? Would you like for lights and climate devices to turn on and off MAGICALLY whenever an area is occupied/clear?

If you think all of the above features are freaking awesome, Simply Magic Areas is here for you!

• Uses multiple type of sensors for determining presence on an area.
• media_player, binary_sensors (all listed types) are supported, humidity
• Support exclusion of entities you don't want to be considered.
• Support inclusion of entities not in the Area Registry (i.e. integrations that don't define an unique_id).
• Automatically turn climates and lights on! (All or user-defined).
• Control light dim based on illuminance in the room
• Automatically turn off lights, climate and media devices when a room is clear
• Automatically turn on/off fans when the area is in extended mode.
• Automatically turn on/off fans when the humidy changes and use this to control occupancy.
• Creates a Health sensor (triggered by binary_sensors with problem, smoke, moisture, safety and gas device classes) for each area
• Creates a Presence Hold switch to manually override area presence
• Creates lights groups which reacts to different area states!
• Creates aggregation sensors for your binary_sensor such as:
  • Motion sensors
  • Door sensors
  • Window sensors
  • Leak sensors
• Creates average (and sums) sensors for all your sensor needs
• Creates global (interior/exterior) aggregate and average sensors
• Area-Aware Media Player: Forward media_play events to media player entities in occupied areas only!

Simply Magic Areas is (not yet) available on HACS! For installation instructions check the installation wiki.

Configuration options for Simply Magic Areas are on a per-area basis.

⚠️ Before you start: Please make sure you understand all the Concepts on the wiki.

💡 Light Groups won't control any lights unless the Light Control switch for that area is turned on!

Go to Configuration > Integrations. You shall see the Simply Magic Areas integration and configure each area (and Meta-Areas!).

See all configuration options in the wiki.

• Use illuminance in the room to control when to turn on the lights, if the illuminance is too high, no lights.
• Change from dark to bright for tracking the room, if a bright entity is set then the room lights are not turned on.
• Configuration flow has a lot less options in the standard flow
• Control dim in the various states, by default sleep is 30% and occupied is 100%
• Move to one state, not two, that are exposed with a select that can be used in automation
• Create humidity and illuminance sensors to use for control of occupancy and fans
• Control fans in the room when the humidity changes or the state for the room is extended.
• Moved the inclusion/exclusion options and other more complicated settings in an advanced light setting group.

Please enable debug logging by putting this in configuration.yaml:

logger:
    default: warning
    logs:
        custom_components.simply_magic_areas: debug

As soon as the issue occurs capture the contents of the the log (/config/home-assistant.log) and open up a ticket!
