What I want to do:
I have one automation to turn on a scene when the time is right:
- id: 'iltavalot_paalle'
alias: Iltavalot päälle
trigger:
- platform: time
at: "16:00:10"
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.kotona
state: 'on'
- condition: time
after: "16:00:00"
action:
service: scene.turn_on
target:
entity_id: scene.iltavalot
And I want to immediately turn off the lights, since (AFAIK) it’s not possible to set the color temperatures or brightness unless you turn on the light (for philips hue).
So I have this kind of automation set up:
- id: kaytavan_valo_sammutus
alias: Käytävän valo sammutus
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: call_service
event_data:
domain: scene
service: turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: scene.iltavalot
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: script.kaytavan_valot_paalle
state: "off"
action:
- service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: script.kaytavan_valot_pois
Where script.kaytavan_valot_paalle is a motion light automation, so that the lights don’t go out when there has been movement.
The problem
That automation kaytavan_valo_sammutus is triggering and working just fine when I manually turn on the scene from the UI. However, nothing happens when that iltavalot_paalle automation turns on the scene.
From developer tools it seems that the events are identical, but for some reason this just does not work. Am I missing something here? I tried to find aswers from documentation, but I couldn’t find any mentions that scripts couldn’t fire automations or any other similar restrictions.
