While the home app is not capable of this configuration, it does appear that HomeKit itself is capable. I just tested it in home( by brutella) and I was able to configure multiple sensors as an automation trigger. I don't know if it is reliable, but that may be worth looking into.
Thanks for the help, @digicide
Would it be possible to get a both sides sensor in addition to any side? Effectively what I am trying to do is turn off a set of lights if both sides are occupied and turn on a set of lights if either side is unoccupied. I tried using the Home app you mentioned above, but it doesn't seem to work for me. @DeeeeLAN
I can get one added, but here is what I have configured to do exactly what you are proposing, how did you set u the automations?
Just make a unified one that requires both to turn it on, then two separate ones to turn it off.
@DeeeeLAN This is effectively verbatim what I have configured the only difference is that I set it to work from 2130 to 0700. This seems to break the automation for me. It seems like a problem with the Home+ app and I tweeted the developer about it. Removing the Time of Day works.
Okay, now this ticket is done for real. You should now have an "any side" sensor and a "both sides" sensor.

A real life hero. Thanks!
@DeeeeLAN No rush, but could you push this to NPM so Homebridge can pick this up?
Sorry about that, I thought I did that but I guess I forgot. It is up now.
No worries and thanks!
It would be good to set an option or a 3rd motion detection for when both the LEFT and RIGHT sides are occupied. With the way Homekit is designed, if someone wanted to create an automation when both LEFT and RIGHT sides are occupied, you are unable to do this today.
An option that looks for LEFT and RIGHT to be occupied at the same time and then respond with MOTION DETECTED would allow for this.
Thanks!!
