There are several options, depending on your situation, requirements, and willingness to write YAML code:

1. You can turn the Living Room heating off at fixed times using the calendar (that is the main point of this blueprint).

2. If you want the Living Room heating off to be off whenever the fireplace is on (regardless of time), you could connect the Away switch for the Living Room automation to a switch that is on when the fireplace is on (Away 'on' turns the heating off).

3. If you do not have a physical switch for the fireplace, then you could put a temperature sensor near the fireplace and create a template sensor that turns on when the fireplace is hot and use that as the 'away' switch for the Living Room automation.

4. If you want to keep a real 'away' function as well as the fireplace function, then you could create a template sensor that detects either the master Away switch OR the fireplace is on and use that as the 'away' switch for the Living room.

5. If you have several fireplaces, or if you want the reason text to be specific about the fireplace being on, then you could add an additional input to the blueprint, and treat is in the same way as the 'away' switch input.

I hope that helps!
