If you edit the automation: change the name or time, then it will work 1 time, the next day it does not work.

Please tell me where to fix it. I am just starting to use

You should share trace logs with us.

It will be triggered once every day at specific time (22:59), so share one positive and one negative trace log and we can help you

3

you sure that the condition (temperature above 19) was met on the second day?

4

I don’t think that’s correct.

the docs you linked to says it will cancel the previous run of the automation and restart the automation.

I don’t think that means the first run needs to finish first.

What you are describing is how the queued mode works.

5

You’re right, I misread it. I’ve edited my post

After the update, Home Assistant cleaned the logs, you have to wait.

Yes, the temperature is always more than 19 degrees

In the beginning I had the Single mode, then when the automation did not work the next day I changed it to restart

7

Is the switch turned on while running the automation? Could be the reason it isn’t fired if it is already turned off.

8

I renamed automation 2 times and it started

today 12/16/2022 automation was not launched, in the launch history it is 12/15/2022.

It turns out after the change, automation starts only once.

What to do to make automation work every day?

10

What does the last trace say for 12/16 that didn’t run the actions?

11

In the log, automation did not start, or I’m looking in the wrong place.
