I'm trying to keep my automations clean and was wondering what guidance/best practices the community had for automations where you want to turn lights on for a certain condition, and once that condition has ended, the lights turn off.
E.g., I want to turn on an indicator light when I am in meetings. So my triggers will be if the camera or mic are active > turn on a light. Once the meeting is over, I want the light to turn off. So do you implement a 2nd automation for "if mic inactive > turn off"? Or do you structure a single automation in a way that will react to both situations?
The easiest is 2 rules. But is that the right way? Does it even really matter and is this post just pointless? Lol.
