Automation triggered by switch state no longer working since upgrade to 0.117.5

Configuration
1

I recently upgraded to 0.117.5 (from 0.114) and one of my oldest and simplest automations stopped triggering completely, it’s really weird. It’s been working for years.

This is the current code

  # Espresso Machine automatic "Time Out" 
  - alias: 'Espresso machine time out'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: switch.espresso
      to: 'on'
      #for: '00:01:00'
    action:   
      - delay: '00:00:30'
      - service: homeassistant.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.espresso

Orignally the “for” statement was set to “minutes: 60” and there was no delay. I’ve been trying different things to see if I can get it to work again, without the “for”, adding “delay” etc.

The problem seems to be the state trigger rather than the for.

I can see the state of ‘switch.espresso’ (which is a zwave switch) and it looks normal, when flipping the switch it goes from ‘off’ to ‘on’ as always.

Also the automation was loaded, I can see it here:

It just never triggers.

I use the same construct with input_booleans and others and it works.

Any idea of what could be wrong here? Configuration checks are OK, I tried restarting HA etc to no avail.

Your automation is ‘off’, turn it ‘on’.

Actually YES, that was the case, somehow that single automation was off, I just came here to post it.
I have NEVER used the GUI for automations except just now while troubleshooting this problem, I opened it and it showed all my automations were “ON” except for this one. What gives :slight_smile:
