Hello beloved ones!
I come here humbly asking, again, for help. I am sorry for bringing "my" issue here, but I have been scratching my head a lot lately to figure out how to solve this and have my wife not blaming home automation for my lack of skills.
Here is the scenario: I have two bathrooms where my kids take a shower. I installed a internal light switch and a water valve in each bathroom and there is a gas heater that feeds them both. My automation (don't laugh) goes like this: as one hits the light switch, shower area light goes on, heater goes on and water valve opens for the shower. When the bath is done, one turns the light switch off and everything turns off. It works. But... When, eventually, I decide to give my baby a bath and my wife decides to bath my 3 year old son at the same time, when I finish the baby's bath first and turns the light switch off so the shower is off, the heater turns off too and the water becomes cold in my other kid's shower and I get a lot of complaints from my wife and my cold soaking son.
Is there a way I make a condition like if one scene/event is running, then the heater does not turn off until the other light switch turns off?
What I have thought now as a "fix" is to wait for like 5 minutes and then turn the heater off. This way, there would be enough time to the other kid finishes his bath. But I don't learn and don't step up my "skills"... π. And it is a crappy solution.
Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance for any help/time spent on my issue.
