Automation issue with 2 automations

Configuration
1

So I have this automation to turn off any flood light that are turned on during the daytime - it has worked great since I set it up some weeks back:

Turn off flood lamp if turned on during daytime

  • id: OffOutSideLights-Day
    alias: ‘OffOutSideLights-Day’
    trigger:

    • platform: state
      entity_id:
      • switch.deskdoorlamp_128
        from: ‘off’
        to: ‘on’
        condition:
    • condition: numeric_state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      value_template: ‘{{ state.attributes.elevation }}’
      above: 0.0

    action:

    • delay: ‘00:00:10’
    • service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id:
      • switch.deskdoorlamp_128

So I added this NEW automation - triggered by a MQTT message:

  • id: Deck_Outside_Lights
    alias: ‘Deck-Outside-Lights’
    trigger:
    • platform: mqtt
      topic: cmnd/Deck-Outside-Lights/POWER
      payload: ‘TOGGLE’
      action:
      • service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id:
        • switch.deskdoorlamp_128

I can never turn on the switch with the 2nd automation until I disable or turn off the first one. This device is a zwave device and the command is turn it on is never sent until I disable the first automation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated…

OK…formated…so to repeat my issue the first script keeps the 2nd one from running…

  • id: OffOutSideLights-Day
    alias: ‘OffOutSideLights-Day’
    trigger:

    • platform: state
      entity_id:
      • switch.fpdrlite_125
      • switch.ramp_7432lite_52
      • switch.frontporchcorner_270
      • switch.flooddriveway_315
      • switch.deskdoorlamp_128
        from: ‘off’
        to: ‘on’
        condition:
    • condition: numeric_state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      value_template: ‘{{ state.attributes.elevation }}’
      above: 0.0

    action:

    • delay: ‘00:00:02’
    • service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id:
      • switch.deskdoorlamp_128
