Automation is triggered, but action

Configuration
1

Hi!

I have two automations to close blinds that don’t work at all.

  1. Open Curtain every morning at 05:10
  2. Close Blinds at sunrise
  • When I manually “Run” the automation, it works
  • In “Trace Timeline”, it show the automation running fine, but the covers won’t actually close

Example of the second one bellow:

action:
  - action: cover.close_cover
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: cover.cortina_curtain
mode: single

That is bizarre. Could you download and post the full trace (formatted as code like your automation config above), found under the three dots menu top-right of that screen/

Like this? Thanks for the response. I speak portuguese, so some descriptions are in my language

Which integration are you using to allow control of the curtains?

I have some news. After modifiying my blackout cover template, somehow the automation worked today. Don’t actually know what I did.
But the other one didn’t open the cover.cortina_curtain

I control both of them with Tuya devices

  • The cover.cortina_curtain is a Curtain Tuya Module.
  • The blackout (the one that started working today) is a standard Tuya Contact Switch and I use the cover template below:
- platform: template
  covers:
    blackout_quarto:
      device_class: curtain
      friendly_name: "Blackout"
      optimistic : true
      open_cover:
        action: script.abrir_blackout
      close_cover:
        action: script.fechar_blackout
      stop_cover:
        action: script.parar_blackout
