@vldi I've just got a Toggle helper (input_boolean) that effectively does what you're asking (ignores some guest room things while turned on). I just turn it on manually when I've got guests.
If you were more on top of it, you could make a calendar to mark when you know you'll have guests and make the "guests present" decision based on that.
Depends what level of knowledge you've got ahead of time, or how much effort you want to put in!

@theastropath @vldi Second the toggle helper approach; with the use of an If/Then block in the same automation to avoid running anything on the guest lights, after splitting the guest and non-guest lights in the then action of the automation.
