Hello,
I have an automation issue that I cannot find the answer to after searching the forums.
I have a Sonoff switch that is flashed to the Tasmota firmware. I have a lamp plugged into the switch. I want the lamp to turn on at sunset and turn off two hours later. Right now I have two automations, one to to turn it on and one to turn it off. The one to turn it on at sunset works perfectly. The one to turn it off does not seem to work. I have tried single quotes and double quotes around the offset, having a + sign and not having the + sign. Is there something I am missing?
This is my automation to turn it on:
- alias: 'Turn on Strip Cord 2 at dusk'
trigger:
platform: sun
event: sunset
action:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.strip_cord_2
This is the one to turn it off:
- alias: 'Turn off Strip Cord 2 at night'
trigger:
platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: '+02:30:00'
action:
service: switch.turn_off
entity_id: switch.strip_cord_2
