Not sure what to do or how to trigger it, but I use areas (Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Room etc). If I put any automation in the “Living Room” area, it disables it’s and this happens with all the automations I put in there. I can’t see a pattern on when it becomes disabled, so I can’t tell why it’s happening but I would appreciate any assistance. I don’t know where in the logs to start looking or what time to look at as I do when when it becomes disabled. I’m trying to find out why it’s only this one “area” that’s disabling all automations that is put in it.
They are all entity IDs and is created using the UI (IPhone Home Assistant App) here is one example I know that had been automatically disabled when put into the “Living Room” area:
- id: '1676152935660'
alias: Lounge Plugs - Turn off if idle Combined
description: '"Turn off" Lounge Plugs if they are not used after being turned on,
or it becomes idle (10 mins by sonos default), but look out for Sonos L being
used and if so, keep that 1 plug on'
triggers:
- entity_id:
- media_player.lounge_tv
from: playing
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 5
seconds: 0
to: idle
trigger: state
- entity_id:

actions:
- if:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.livingroom_loungetv_l_energy_power

then:
- data: {}
target:
area_id: living_room
label_id: livingroom
action: homeassistant.turn_off
else:
- data: {}
target:
label_id:
- lounge_switch_r
- lounge_switch_tv
action: homeassistant.turn_off
mode: single
One of your actions is trying to switch off everything with the area_id: living_room.
If your automation has a living_room area assigned, then the homeassistant.turn_off service will also switch it off.
EDIT: That’s exactly what you’re doing. You need to choose between either
not setting an area for your automation.
use only the label_id: livingroom in the action and remove the area_id line
use switch.turn_off instead of homeassistant.turn_off if all the target devices are switches.
The homeassistant.turn* action sends the commands to all domains, including automations (see docs here)
