Automation not triggering

Configuration
1

Hi, I have this automation to automate lights inside my house based on sun with time and a input select condition, but its not firing. is this because the sun reaches 4 before 07:00?

- alias: Day mode
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
    above: 4
      
      
  condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
    
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_select.house_mode
        state: 'Morgen'
        
      - condition: time
        after: '07:00:00'
        before: '13:59:59'
        
        
  action:
    - service: scene.turn_on
      entity_id: scene.dag
      
    - service: input_select.select_option
      entity_id: input_select.house_mode
      data:
        option: Dag

Yes, according to your automation the trigger will fire once when the sun goes from below 4 to above it. If the condition is not met at that time it will not continue with the automation.

When the sun goes from say, 4 to 5 it will not fire again.

I just realised I have a similar automation, here is an (untested) example.

Basically you need the automation to trigger twice; once at 07:00 (or slightly after) and once when the sun elevation goes above 4. Then in the condition block, check that all conditions have been met (elevtion >4, after 7 etc.)

- alias: Day mode
  trigger:
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sun.sun
      value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
      above: 4
    - platform: time
      at: '07:00:01'
      
  condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_select.house_mode
        state: 'Morgen'
      - condition: time
        after: '07:00:00'
        before: '13:59:59'
      - condition: numeric_state
        entity_id: sun.sun
        value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
        above: 4
    
  action:
    - service: scene.turn_on
      entity_id: scene.dag
    - service: input_select.select_option
      entity_id: input_select.house_mode
      data:
        option: Dag

Ahh, I see! Thanks for getting back to me :slight_smile: I was about to make a second automation… I didn’t realize one could trigger more than once. I think I have more redundancy than I need in my configuration :stuck_out_tongue:
