Animated Stair Case Pir data to HomeAssistant

1

Hi All

Can any one please guide me in right direction here please.

I do have Stair case mod installed (+1 Year) all working good but i have scheduler running in HA to cut power supply off in a day time works well using relay pin.

But problem i have is occasionally need stairs to turn on outside of present hours at night especially.

As controller never looses its power i can read On/OFF states on “MQTT Explorer” and i would like to use this data to trigger automation to override Off state when needed.

  binary_sensor:
    - name: "Stair Motion1"
      state_topic: "wled/Stair01/motion/1"
      qos: 1
      device_class: motion

and i get this

Is any one done this successfully ? as i don’t see a need to purchase additional PIR to get this to work.

Is this me doing it wrong or its not possible ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
