#homeassistant crowd, how would you automate the scenario:
I have the "all off" automation, which turns off all lights, including those in the guest room.
We do have guests sometimes. Usually, they stay between a couple of days and a couple of weeks.
How may I mark the time when guests are visiting, so that during that time (usually between a couple of days and a couple of weeks), the automation skips the guest room lights?

@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!
