Automation triggers sometimes

Configuration

Hello,

I have done an automation where the hallway lights should be turned off at 5:34:00 A.M, but it’s not working all the time, and many times it triggers after the defined time, please check the pics:

Can you share the whole automation?
Go to the 3 dots in the top right of the screen, click on ‘Edit with YAML’ and copy in and paste in.

Remember to highlight the code and click on the ‘</>’ button to preserve the indentations.

here you go:

The automation is scheduled to trigger at 05:45 not 05:34 but I get your meaning (i.e. it doesn’t appear to be respecting the time you specified).

Go to Developer Tools > Template and paste the following text into the Template Editor:

Local Time:
{{ now() }}
{{ now().astimezone() }}
{{ utcnow().astimezone() }}
{{ now().now() }}
{{ now().today() }}

UTC time:
{{ now().utcnow() }}
{{ utcnow() }}

Time Zone:
{{ now().tzinfo }}
{{ now().astimezone().tzinfo }}
{{ utcnow().tzinfo }}

Confirm the reported Local Time and Time Zone information is correct. We want to make sure the system clock is set correctly before we investigate further.

FWIW, although it’s unlikely to fix the problem, you can reduce your automation to this:
