I have what I think is a simple automation for turning on the light in a room after sunset when motion is detected. I wrote the automation several years ago, but within the last few weeks it has started getting “stuck” and no longer triggering unless I completely restart HA. I don’t see any relevant information in the logs as to what the problem is, and the automation trace only shows that it is “still running” when checking conditions. After an HA restart, the automation will usually run fine for several days until it becomes stuck again. I also cannot turn the automation off or on while it is stuck. Any help diagnosing would be appreciated.
