Function-specific automation triggers & circumstances
Since Dwelling Assistant 2025.12, we’ve been engaged on making automationAutomations in Dwelling Assistant assist you to robotically reply to issues that occur in and round your property. [Learn more] constructing extra pure. As an alternative of pondering in technical phrases like entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or operate in Dwelling Assistant. Entities are used to observe bodily properties or to regulate different entities. An entity is normally a part of a tool or a service. [Learn more] states and numeric thresholds, now you can choose issues like “When a light-weight activates” or “If the local weather is heating”. Every launch since has added extra, and this launch brings the greatest batch but.
However this launch additionally brings one thing basically new to the desk: cross-domain triggers and circumstances.
And sure, whereas that is nonetheless a Dwelling Assistant Labs characteristic, we encourage you to present it a spin.
Pondering in real-world ideas, not technical domains
Up till now, each set offA set off is a set of values or circumstances of a platform which might be outlined to trigger an automation to run. [Learn more] and situationCircumstances are an elective a part of an automation that may stop an motion from firing if they aren’t met. [Learn more] was tied to a particular entity sort. Wish to know if a door opened? That used to depend upon whether or not your door was represented as a magnetic contact sensor (a binary sensorA binary sensor returns details about issues that solely have two states – comparable to on or off. [Learn more]), a motorized door comparable to a storage door (a cowlCovers are gadgets comparable to blinds, storage doorways, and so on that may be opened and closed and optionally set to a particular place. [Learn more] entity), or one thing else solely. You needed to know the technical distinction and choose the appropriate one.
However that’s not how we take into consideration our houses. We predict by way of doorways, home windows, movement, temperature, and humidity. These are real-world ideas that may be represented by completely different entity sorts in Dwelling Assistant.
This launch introduces triggersA set off is a set of values or circumstances of a platform which might be outlined to trigger an automation to run. [Learn more] and circumstancesCircumstances are an elective a part of an automation that may stop an motion from firing if they aren’t met. [Learn more] that work throughout entity sorts and are organized by what they imply, not the place they reside technically. A “door opened” set off now responds to any door entity, whether or not it’s a contact sensor or a motorized cowl. A “temperature modified” set off picks up readings from temperature sensors, local weatherThe Local weather entity permits you to management and monitor HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air-con) gadgets and thermostats. [Learn more] gadgetsA tool is a mannequin representing a bodily or logical unit that comprises entities., and water heaters alike. You now not must know the technical particulars behind the scenes.
And similar to the purpose-specific triggers you already know, these new cross-domain triggers and circumstances totally assist focusing on by spaceAn space in Dwelling Assistant is a logical grouping of gadgets and entities that should match areas (or rooms) within the bodily world: your property.

Units & entities usually are not assigned to flooring however to areas. Flooring can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. For instance, to show off all of the lights on the downstairs ground whenever you go to mattress. [Learn more], or labelLabels in Dwelling Assistant enable grouping components regardless of their bodily location or sort. Labels might be assigned to areas, gadgets, entities, automations, scenes, scripts, and helpers. Labels can be utilized in automations and scripts as a goal for actions. Labels may also be used to filter knowledge. [Learn more]. Which means you possibly can create a set off like “When a window on the upstairs ground is opened” with out itemizing each single window. Add a brand new window sensor up there, and it’s robotically included.
New cross-domain triggers and circumstances
The next new triggers and circumstances now work throughout entity sorts. For every of those, you get each a set off (“when” one thing occurred) and a situation (“if” one thing is true), so you should utilize the identical pure ideas all through your automation:
- Door, storage door, gate, and window: set off once they open or shut, and examine if they’re at present open or closed (from each binary sensors and covers).
- Movement: set off when movement is detected or cleared (throughout binary sensorA binary sensor returns details about issues that solely have two states – comparable to on or off. [Learn more] and “occasion entities”Occasions are alerts which might be emitted when one thing occurs, for instance, when a consumer presses a bodily button like a doorbell or when a button on a distant management is pressed. [Learn more]).
- Occupancy: set off when occupancy is detected or cleared, and examine if an area is occupied.
- Temperature: set off when the temperature adjustments or crosses a threshold (from temperature sensors, local weather gadgets, and extra).
