Step 1
Create an input boolean in Home Assistant that will control if the house is in vacation mode.
or via the helpers menu in the Home Assistant UI or add it manually in YAML
input_boolean:
vacation_mode:
name: Vacation Mode
icon: mdi:beach
Step 2
Create a flow that will automatically change the vacation mode to off if we come home. Secondly will send our phone an actionable notification for android asking if we want to turn on vacation mode if we have been gone longer than 24 hours.

Step 3
Set up a group of lights and switches in Home Assistant that you want to turn on and off while vacation mode is active. This can be done without creating a group in Home Assistant by modifying the get-entities node in the below flow to entity_id in light.night_light,light.kitchen,switch.bedroom_light,switch.laundry_room.
group:
vacation_lights:
name: Vacation Lights
entities:
- light.night_light
- light.kitchen
- switch.bedroom_light
- switch.laundry_room
Step 4
This flow will run between sunset and midnight turning lights on and off at random intervals if vacation mode is enabled.
