Hi, I have an automation to turn off the lights at some areas after a certain preset amout of time if no motion is detected. Sometimes folks are too quiet and the lights turn off when they should. this drives my SO mad, and while I share the way to disable the routine in the phone app, I wonder if there what incospicuous options are out there to trigger conditions in automations. I'm looking for something easy to tell from a distance and easy to manually change (no apps required). I guess it could be a simple as another light swich (but I worry some people will get confused by a switch that doesn't turn anything on or off) or something like a fake book/wooden block which works as a switch depending on its orientation (do such thing exists?), a magnetic peg that closes a circuit when inserted somewhere, something like that, any ideas?
