Automation not working right

Configuration
1

I created 2 different automation to increase and decrease the temperature at different times and when the room is above or below a specific temperature. When I manually run them, they just set the temperature in the action: settings. But when I run the script, they work fine.

When you run an automation from the “three dots” menu, it just runs the action part - triggers and conditions are ignored.

To test conditions as well you can run the automation in Developer Tools | Actions with the command Automation: trigger - but make sure you turn off the “skip conditions” switch.

To test the whole thing, including the trigger, you can temporarily change the value of the trigger sensor in Developer Tools | States to one which will fire the automation.

You probably know this already, but just in case… Your automations will not fire when the room is above or below a specific temperature. They will fire when the room changes from being below the target temperature to being above it (or vice versa). A trigger is not a state, but a change of state.

This means that when testing, if the automation is supposed to fire when the temperature drops below 21.5, you have to start the test with the temperature above 21.5.
