If in constrained period and override is set it’s ignored when constraint ends about entity-controller HOT 4 CLOSED

See v2.4.10.

Hi Danny - thanks for the update. Running it now. We've come into some bad weather so it might be a few days to get a real world test completed as need some sun to happen to cause the override to get tripped.

Under some manual testing it seems to do the job.

Thanks!

This means that override state overrides all other states, including constrained.
Easy to implement, but it is a bit confusing from user perspective to see the entity in override state when it should be constrained. Will investigate if what you suggested is feasable. I do not want to add if/else checks everywhere.

Hi Danny I think constrained should (and does) have priority over any overrides. So when in constrained mode it's completely inactive. That is currently how it works.

The only problem is when it exists constrained mode (and perhaps enter - not tested that specifically) if the trigger for an override is already set it seems to be ignored. If I toggle that override state off/on outside of constrained mode what we expect happens; the lightings goes into overrides mode.

What I would expect is going from constrained-->override mode would occur.

Set example here:

motion_connor_bedroom:
   sensors: 
      - binary_sensor.connor_pir_sensor
   entities: 
      - light.connors_ceiling_fan_light
   state_entities:
      - group.connors_bedroom_lights
   delay: 900
   sensor_type_duration: True
   start_time: '08:00:00' 
   end_time: '19:30:00' 
   overrides:
      - binary_sensor.auto_lights_override
