Steps

Someone is home

Only when the home, a person or a place is occupied / empty

And step — Only continue if…. Step type and-presence.

How it works

Continues only if the household, a person, or a place is currently occupied (home) or empty (away).

Example

Device changes (Motion detected) → Someone is home (Home is empty) → Send notification ("Motion while nobody is home")

Motion alerts only when the house should be empty.
