# Mike's Motion Activated Scenes
by Mike Peralta
This is another "motion activated light" automation blueprint for [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/).
It uses scenes rather than toggling to allow for robust behavior and attempts to adjust its delay dynamically based on activity.
It features several stages after motion is no longer detected:
* Initial delay (nothing happens)
* Notice: Configurable scene + delay
* Warning: Configurable scene + delay
* Off
The initial delay starts off at a user configured number of seconds. Each time the user interrupts the off-sequence with motion,
the delay gets multiplied by a user configured multiplier, with a user configurable limit.
When the user allows the off-sequence to complete (the off-scene activates), the delay resets to the user configured baseline.
This allows a room to stay on longer when there is frequent activity, but shorter when activity is infrequent.
The automation also obeys a toggle helper to enable/disable motion activation. The user can configure which scene to use when when disabled.
This automation can retry a scene multiple times in a row to help overcome buggy/slow networks or lights that fail to set brightness/color correctly when first turned on.
