Automation is not firing

Hi.

I try to get Home Assistant to simply turn on and off my cafe machine and therefor I have implemented the below mentioned automation. But whatever I do, it does not fire.

I have tried:

  • creating the automation using the UI
  • putting the time in “”
  • using different time formats
  • editing the automation directly in the yml

Can you help me?

Oliver

- id: '1568138581883'
  alias: CAROLA_anschalten
  trigger:
  - at: "06:45:00"
    platform: time
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: switch.carola_relay
    service: switch.turn_on

Things to check:

  • Is the automation turned on (enabled) - check in Developer tools -> States
  • Does the action work if you manually trigger the automation - Developer tools -> States -> find the automation, select the icon next to it and push TRIGGER
  • Is the time right - check by entering the following in Developer tools -> Templates
{{ now () }}

Hi & thx for the fast reply.

Checking your list, I think I have an issue with the last point. I am using docker and it has the wrong time zone. Let me fix that and check again.

Thanks again Oliver

So. It was the time setting. Before I saw you could change that in the UI, reconfigured my docker file. Here is the result for reference (took me a while to find the start command)

Dockerfile:
FROM homeassistant/home-assistant:latest
CMD python3 -m homeassistant --config /config
