Hello,  
I want to create a scene that allows, if there is no one at home but the motion detector is triggered, to trigger an alarm.  
My issue is how I can do the trigger. I can’t do if the house is empty and the sensor state changes then trigger alarm.  
I tried by doing if the motion sensor state changes then I check everyone’s status (not optimal at all). I can’t use «&nbsp;house empty&nbsp;» because it’s only usable in actions. Sorry if I’m not clear ^^

Hello!

What you want to do is a trigger «&nbsp;When there is movement&nbsp;» with a condition «&nbsp;The house is empty&nbsp;».

So currently this is not possible, we lack the condition «&nbsp;if the house is empty/not empty&nbsp;» in the actions ^^

But this is a planned development:

> @lmilcent Je me demande si on voudrait pas une version “condition” de ces triggers pour faire des scènes “Si mouvement ET que la maison est vide, alors”

As a last resort, you can cheat in the meantime by using a fake MQTT device that will store 0 or 1 if the house is empty or not, and then use this device in the scenes with a «&nbsp;get last state&nbsp;» block + «&nbsp;continue only if&nbsp;» 🙂
