How do I change this to be once a week?
16:35 on Saturday only?
16:35 every 6’th day of week?
I’m not certain.
Anyone know? The UI doesn’t make it entirely clear.
Add a weekday condition.
There is no weekday in the dropdown selection.
and I am unsure of the precise syntax in that line, to confgigure weekday.
Weekday Condition. Not Trigger.
So what do I put in the picture I posted?
Trigger Type = Time
At =
Weekay 6, 16:35
?
I’m confused, I don’t have that test, I have the box in the pictures attached at the top?
If you can type in the forum, you can type in your automations.yaml
I do not understand why you provide a user interface which doesn’t fully work?
Can this not be done in the user interface?
I don’t provide anything other than attempts to help people.
Sometimes they are grateful, sometimes they aren’t.
The program has a graphical user interface, I’m simply asking if it’s possible to be done in that interface?
It is a work in progress. It has not yet reached v1.0. At this point it should be possible to do most things via the UI.

No you aren’t, this message isn’t in that vein.
Then you’re misunderstanding.
The program has a GUI.
I have provided a picture of the GUI I’m using?
I’m pretty sure it’s the stock standard GUI ?
How do I configure my auto backup to run once a week in the GUI ?
I don’t know, and I don’t care. I don’t use the gui for automations. I am providing you with a solution, which you could have implemented by now rather than criticising.
I do not understand why you’re hassling me and being so rude.
Please go away.
As has been mentioned:
- The UI editor doesn’t provide every possible feature of automations
- Home Assistant is a work in progress
- You’ve been given a solution - add a weekday condition - yes, this will require you to manually edit your automation
If you’re looking for a finished, polished, UI all the way experience then Home Assistant likely isn’t for you. Not yet anyway, and the day that comes is likely a very long time off.

Hey thank you for the reply, I honestly didn’t know the UI isn’t supposed to be feature complete yet (!!!) if the other guy made that clear, it would’ve made a lot more sense.
“It can’t be done yet properly in the UI, work in progress!” - done, sigh.
Appreciate your reply, I’ll investigate mucking around in files. Appreciate it a lot.
