Automation not firing action

Hello.

I am under the impression the below should turn off the light if

  • on for 1 minute
  • after sundown
  • before sunrise

Unfortunately it does not.

If I remove the conditoin, light correctly turns off after 1 minute.

Can someone nudge me in the right direction please? I do not really know what to search for in the doc to help myself.

Any help towards the doc would be very much appreciated.

Best regards.

Marc.

The issue was it can’t be both before sunrise AND after sunset at the same time. the events are referenced to midnight.
