[Home Assistant] Control lights with multiple motion sensors

Create group of motion sensors in groups.yaml
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/group/

cellar_motion:
  name: Cellar Presence
  icon: mdi:motion-sensor
  entities:
    - binary_sensor.bewegungsmelder_xxx_ias_zone
    - binary_sensor.bewegungsmelder_xxx_ias_zone

Next, if you have more than one light you’d like to control, create a group of lights in your configuration.yaml
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.group/

# Light Groups      
light:
  - platform: group
    name: Cellar Lights
    entities:
      - light.ikea_of_sweden_tradfri_bulb_e27_ww_806lm_xxx_level_on_off
      - light.ikea_of_sweden_tradfri_bulb_e27_ww_806lm_xxx_level_on_off

And finally use both in an automation
