# Magic Areas for Home Assistant

Tired of writing the same automations, over and over, for each of your rooms? You wish Home Assistant just figured out all entities you have in an area and **magically** started being smarter about them?



Magic Areas is the batteries that were missing! Would like to have a single `motion` sensor that is grouped to all your other motion sensors in that area? What if all (most) of your `sensor` and `binary_sensor` entities had aggregates (grouping/average), PER AREA? Would you like for lights and climate devices to turn on and off **MAGICALLY** whenever an area is occupied/clear?



If you think all of the above features are freaking awesome, **Magic Areas** is here for you!



## Features



* Uses multiple type of sensors for determining presence on an area.

*  `media_player`, `binary_sensors` ([all listed types](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor/)) are supported

* Support exclusion of entities you don't want to be considered.

* Support inclusion of entities not in the Area Registry (i.e. integrations that don't define an `unique_id`).

* Automatic turn climates and lights on! (All or user-defined).

* Creates lights groups which reacts to different area states!

* Automatic turn off lights, climate and media devices when a room is clear

* Creates a `Health` sensor (triggered by `binary_sensors` with `problem`, `smoke`, `moisture`, `safety` and `gas` device classes) for each area

* Creates a `Presence Hold` switch to manually override area presence

* Creates aggregation sensors for your `binary_sensor` such as:

  * Motion sensors

  * Door sensors

  * Window sensors

  * Leak sensors

* Creates average (and sums) sensors for all your `sensor` needs

* Creates global (interior/exterior) aggregate and average sensors

* Area-Aware Media Player: Forward `media_play` events to media player entities in occupied areas only!



## Installation



_Magic Areas_ is available on HACS! For installation instructions check the installation [wiki](https://github.com/jseidl/hass-magic_areas/wiki/Installation).



## Configuration

Configuration options for `Magic Areas` are on a per-area basis.



> ⚠️ Before you start: Please make sure you understand all the **Concepts** on the [wiki](https://github.com/jseidl/hass-magic_areas/wiki).



> 💡 Light Groups won't control any lights unless the `Light Control` switch for that area is turned `on`!



Go to **Configuration** > **Integrations**. You shall see the *Magic Areas* integration and configure each area (and [Meta-Areas](https://github.com/jseidl/hass-magic_areas/wiki/Meta-Areas)!).



See all configuration options in the [wiki](https://github.com/jseidl/hass-magic_areas/wiki/Configuration).



## Problems/bugs, questions, feature requests?



Please enable debug logging by putting this in `configuration.yaml`:



```yaml

logger:

    default: warning

    logs:

        custom_components.magic_areas: debug

```



As soon as the issue occurs capture the contents of the the log (`/config/home-assistant.log`) and open up a [ticket](https://github.com/jseidl/hass-magic_areas/issues)!
