In RL I have the following, using the VS to disable / enable sensor-based lighting, like @bill.d said, use the button controller (or other automations if you want) to control the VS:
I have a Hue Dimmer that I use for manual control, setup in Button Controller. The On or dim up/down buttons disable motion lighting using the VS and manually control the lights, while the off button re-enables motion lighting.
I have the VS exposed through Maker API for some calls I make from a Node RED flow when using my Hue Tap Dials, but probably no additional benefit in showing that.
