Add Mockupancy routines.

[CCOSTAN]

Add routines to simulate occupancy when we are away.

[CCOSTAN]

• Vacation mode and mocupancy scenes to simulate being here.

- alias: 'Get Random Time'
     trigger:
     platform: time
     after: '21:00:00'
   action:
     - service: input_slider.select_value
       data_template:
         entity_id: input_slider.hour
         value: '{{ (range(22, 23) | random) }}'
     - service: input_slider.select_value
       data_template:
         entity_id: input_slider.random_minute
         value: '{{ (range(30, 45) | random) }}'

Then simply use that in your light turn off automation:

 - alias: 'Turn lights off'
   trigger:
     platform: template
     value_template: '{{ now.hour == (states.input_slider.random_hour.state | int) and now.minute == (states.input_slider.random_minute.state | int) }}'
   action:
     - service: light.turn_off
       data: 
         entity_id: light.hue_color_lamp_1

- alias: AUTO ON (MOTION) Downstairs Bathroom Light
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_burglar_24_10
    from: '0'
    to: '8'
  action:
    service: scene.turn_on
    data_template:
      entity_id: >
        {% set hour=states("sensor.time").split(':')[0] | int %}
        {%- if hour >= 19 or hour < 6  -%}
          scene.downstairs_bathroom_late_night
        {%- elif hour >= 6 or hour <9  -%}
          scene.downstairs_bathroom_early_morning
        {%- else -%}
          scene.downstairs_bathroom_mid_day
        {%- endif %}

#96 - Random Dog Barks.

If not around for 18 hours, trigger Vacation Mode.. (Moccupancy routines.)

Even more great ideas from @eliseomartelli

{{states.group.all_lights.attributes.entity_id | random }}

I think I would create a new group in the package called group.mockupancy with appropriate lights and then just shut down the whole group after a random amount of time.

Love the idea of using an Event to call the routine at the end of the routine for a great loop.

#892 - If vacation mode is enabled, Put Water Heater in Vacation Mode as well.

Looks like there is a HACS component for this.
