Interesting video thank you for posting. In your example of using the Else statement, it would be worth pointing out that the States of the door sensor could be more than On or Off, so for the Sharp Tools and Node Red examples, the Else statement would be triggered if the State of the sensor changed to Unavailable (for example) In your Use Case it does not have much impact - turning off and already off light - but in others it could. I use HA Automations as, for me, Node Red solves issues that I do not have, . I had not come across Sharp Tools but would personally avoid a commercial product.
What automation platform do you use on Home Assistant? Let us know in the comments below!
Wow I have not been using trigger by. Thanks!
Glad you were able to take away something from the video!
Another great video. Just condensed 4 rules into 1 by using trigger IDs 👍
I'm glad you found the video helpful!

Great points about the Unavailable state!
Node Red for the win
