For some reason, my motion binary sensor-based Automation no longer executes.
I’ve rebooted HA; all other Automations work. The Action by itself executes.
My binary sensor (motion detector) via SmartThings hub executes a changed state properly in HA Dev Tools/State, and shows as active in ST IDE, so it’s not a battery issue.
I’ve also tried a basic Automation w/o a condition.
Is there possibly something that may be interrupting with the binary sensor?
alias: Office Motion-Light On
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.office_motion_detector_motion
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: sun.sun
state: below_horizon
action:
- data:
brightness_pct: 90
entity_id: light.office_floor_lamp
service: homeassistant.turn_on
mode: single
Yep, it’s on. I’ve since tried another automation and changed the battery, just to make sure. My only other option here is to once again, disconnect ST and e-integrate it.
Well if binary_sensor.office_motion_detector_motion is changing state in developer tools / states and your actions work when the automation is triggered manually, and the automation is enabled… the only other thing I can think of is a spelling error. Look really closely at the entity id.
I thought about that too… used the UI editor to create that test automation, so only selected entities, etc. are used. This is so weird. If I haven’t figured it out by tomorrow, I’ll re-integrate ST.
