Dim a light after a certain time

Configuration
1

Hi, I have created an automation where the trigger is the switching on of a shelly dimmer, in the conditions I set before 6:00 am and after 20:00 pm, and in the action the brightness adjustment. it doesn’t work though. even if I disable the conditions.

Any tips?

You need to post the yaml of the automation before anyone can help.

Please format your pasted config as per the link I posted.

It looks ok and should work. I recreated the automation with a light I have and it worked in 0.07 seconds.

If you look at the timestamps in the debug how long is it taking to run from when you trigger it.
Debug is here.
