No ability to deactivate Automations?

[chi_29]

I want to be able to temporarily deactivate Automations.  I currently have automations to set modes due to schedules, and Arrive/Leave via Geofencing.

A perfect use case is I may leave the home area while I have a guest or contractor over, and my system will attempt to arm itself.  I have had multiple false alarms because of this.

There has to be a way to temporarily disable your Automation rules.  The answer cannot be to delete them and have to recreate them as that is insane.

Is there any way to do this that I am not seeing?  Is this a feature request?  I cannot believe I am the only person that has this type of request.

Yes.  Just go into each of the three modes and disable the automations there.

Thanks.  This works I guess but this still seems more convoluted than simply being able to toggle the automations directly on or off.
