Example of an automation

This demonstration shows you how to create an automation that turns ON the light in the entrance room at 50% brightness when motion is detected and a one-minute delay before turning ON the living room light.
NOTE: It is mandatory to create two automations. First, turn on the dimmer light with 50% brightness when motion is detected. Second, turn off the dimmer light when the motion is no longer detected. 
The dimmer will not turn off automatically until you create another automation.
