Simple rules - Lighting using dusk/dawn or illumination

[Sebastien]

Thanks @scoob8000. I have done some testing and confirmed that this is the way Simple Automation works. It will not turn off the light when the restrictions are active.

You could try using the “Basic Rules” app which seems to behave the way you would like it to - turns off the light even if illumination is higher than your set level.

Also, there is this community app which I use for all situations where I need lights to go on and off based on sensors. It has the added benefit that it will dim before it turns off, so if you are still around but just not moving enough, you are warned before it turns off.

[RELEASE] Lights on Motion Plus (dim before off, remember individual bulb states, etc.)

I've written an app for my own use and figured I'd share it. I originally wrote it for a certain other platform, then another platform (see? not the one you're thinking of), and finally re-wrote it for Hubitat and fixed some longstanding bugs I tolerated. I figured I'd share it with the community in case anyone has any use for it. At its core, it's similar to most motion-based lighting apps, but none of them could do a couple things I wanted. They all could more or less turn one or more lights …
