Automation triggered but does not run actions (since last update? 2022.10.4))

Still happens in 2025.2.2

Also ran into this exact issue now (deCONZ + TRADFRI rocker switch) after replacing batteries, all presses work except “short off”. And also just short dis- & re-enabling of the automation no longer fixes it. Automation trace acts as if the actions were run (they were not). Manually running the actions works fine. Reloading all automations also doesn’t fix it. Recreating the trigger also doesn’t fix it. The automation is not stuck in “current: 1”.

Edit: After doing all this and just waiting at some point all of the presses stopped working, and later all of them started working again (no restarts). Very annoying and hard to debug.

I ran into the same problem with two of my automations this week. What fixed it for me (at least for now?) was simply disabling all conditions, then triggering the automation (at which point it was working again), and finally re-enabling the same conditions.

Both of those automations have a device as a trigger where I had changed the unique ID (which shouldn’t matter, since Home Assistant uses a different unique ID for those triggers?). I didn’t have to change anything else there, but maybe that’s what triggered the bug?

Version: 2025.3.4

Same here.

I switch a helper-var (boolean) to trigger an automation and this then works about once or twice. After that, the automation is triggered when the helper var is switched, but no command is executed.

All tips from the thread (de/activate, cloning…) have unfortunately not helped.

Having issues with automation skipping actions
Automation is triggered by sunrise.
Actions are a list of consecutive turn off commands for about 6 lights
Trace shows nothing about failed execution.
Only a subset of the lights are being turned off.
It acts as if the action for the light isn’t even in the automation.
Works fine if I execute the action manually from within the automation.
Worked fine for a year or more until now.
