Hello All, I have a simple automation that’s supposed to switch on the Garage lights(controlled by TP-Link Kasa Smart switch) when my driveway camera’s(Reolink Duo 2 POE) floodlight turns on between 9PM and 5AM. It is working but the garage lights are turned on after some delay (around 10secs or so after driveway camera’s floodlight turns on) and not instantly. Here’s my YAML, kindly take a look:

Below is the trace image:
Can you download the full trace and post it here?
can uou try it with a service call instead of
so something like this:
action:
- service: switch.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.somelight
and while you’re at it, also use state change for the trigger:
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- light.driverway_camera_floodlight
to: "on"
