Day of Week Condition

I’m trying to get this simple script to run, but as soon as I added the day of week condition to it, it stopped working. I have looked at the various threads and according to what I have seen in examples this should work, but it doesn’t. What have I done wrong ?

Looks right to me, but you’ll have to wait until Monday at 7pm for it to fire.

Except it didn’t work on Monday at 7pm so I am confused.

Any error in the log three days ago?

Reading the condition’s documentation it is not clear to me, whether the absence of before: and after: implies “the whole day”. Could also result in ‘00:00:00’ exactly.

Either you use the recommended workday sensor condition or add after: '00:00:00', so it will span the entire (Mon)day.

No, but I deleted the Yaml - re typed it , set to today and now and it worked so I must have had a space issue somewhere that I couldn’t see

I have an event based on time to counter the whole day issue I thought
