Conditions set in the UI never work... what next?

I’ve setup HA with my Phillips Hue, Smartthings and some other devices. Triggering automations works fine (ie lights come on when there is motion but only if lux is x as set in the trigger itself). However ANY attempt to set conditions (condition sunset/sunrise, lux) fails. The UI has fields for setting these values, they seem pretty straight forward, yet never work, wth? :slight_smile:

I am running HA in docker, I setup HA Cloud (and was planning to pay for it) but I am not expecting to have to dig into the code itself to get conditions to work when they are exposed plainly in the UI. What am I missing?

I am happy to post screenshots/code if needed.

Thanks.

We would need to know what Automation and the conditions set you have that aren’t working in order to debug them. Sunset and Sunrise are a bit weird. In you have to create two conditions one with sunrise and one with sunset OR together

Sunrise/Sunset were used together to set a window of time where the lights would turn on via motion. But let me put together what I have set now that isn’t working and post it. Be a bit.
