I have the following automation to turn on and off my front lights at sunset and sunrise:
alias: Night Lighting - Outside
description: Turns on or off the outside lights according to time of day
trigger:
- platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: "00:15:00"
id: sunset
- platform: sun
event: sunrise
offset: "-00:15:00"
id: sunrise
condition: []
action:
- if:
- condition: trigger
id: sunset
then:
- service: light.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: light.front_lights_switch
else:
- service: light.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id: light.front_lights_switch
mode: single
It had been running fine for about 8 months. But around a month ago it started glitching sometimes. When it executes at sunset it turns the lights on and a second later the else action also executes. An example from today:
Has anyone else seen this?
