Stop schedule - Githubissues

In the meantime I have found some kind of solution (probably not the most efficient one) with a 'change' module. My target or issue is that, when a cycle of presence faker is ongoing, that a change from vacation mode to false stops the current cycle and turns all lights to off.

Here's a snippet of the flow that works for me. The first switch gets input from a Home Assitant input boolean if the house is empty or not. This sends "on"/"off", which presence-faker doesn't know what to do with. This first switch converts this to boolean true/false. For you to play with, I added 2 injection nodes to send "on"/"off" through the switch, and 2 injection nodes to send True/False boolean directly to presence-faker. You should be able to adapt this to your flow.

Lastly, I had to add a switch to the output of the presence-faker node as it seems the Home Assitant did not like "{{payload}}" for the service field. This 'hack' gets around the issue of the lights not properly turning on/off. An additional side benefit is that you can include attributes to send to the lights on/off, such as brightness, color, transition, etc.

Hope this helps you. Import (ctrl-i) the following into your node-red:
