Good morning.

First of all, I apologize for my writing since I am using the Google translator.

I am trying to create an automation and I am not able since I do not see the way to do it.

We are 4 people at home, my wife, my two children and me. What I want is that at night the entrance door light comes on and that it stays on until the last of the four is home, that is, once everyone is inside the house it turns off.

I can only get it to turn off when the first one arrives, but what I want is for it to wait for the last one.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much and greetings from Spain.



Buenos dias.

Lo primero disculpar por mi redaccion ya que estoy utilizando el traductor de Google.

Estoy intentando crear una automatizacion y no soy capaz ya que no veo la forma de la hacerlo.

Somos 4 personas en casa , mi mujer , mis dos hijos y yo. Lo qiue quiero es que por la noche se encienda la luz de la puerta de entrada y que se mantenga encendida hasta que el ultimo de los cuatro este en casa , es decir , una vez todos dentro de casa se apague.

Solo consigo que cuando llegue el primero se apague , pero lo que quiero es que espere al ultimo.

¿Alguna idea?

Muchas gracias y saludos desde España
 
I doubt this is possible today with the Shortcuts app. You could write it so that when each person arrives home the shortcut checks the location of the others and turns off the light only if their location is home. But I don’t believe a Shirtcut can check the location of family members. Someone can correct me if I’m mistaken. There may be other approaches too.
