Lights, master and slave, with option for pause

How would I, in RM, have one light mimic another in level, color, hue etc, but also have the option to disable that rule on another condition being true. I can see how to do some of it in Groups and Scenes (but not the pausing), and I can see how to do the pausing in RM, but not the grouping.

Use case: I have one light that I use as a notification light that turns certain colors based on events around the house. Problem is that motion is changing the red/blue color to a white color.......and I lose the notification.

Anyone?

Can you check if the bulb is already on and if it is do not allow the motion action to run?

or use a private boolean for the motion RM
set the boolean to true/false when the notification is live or not
