I recognise this problem, I had it for cameras detecting people, and that being annoying when I work in the garden.

The automation itself is surfaced as a switch so you can turn it off without trying to change your in automation logic to test for states.

Then, if you are like me, you’ll realise you forget to turn it back on! I created an automation that triggers when the automation is turned off and turns it back on after 2 hours (no way I’m gardening for longer than that).

Lastly, because it was annoying to have to open the app, I made the notification have an action button to turn off the notification automation, so that when I start gardening and my phone pings, I can turn it off without farting about too much.
