I am new to Home Assistant and so far its going well. I do have a question regarding automation to a group of lights. It is working but sometimes it does not apply to everything in the group. Below is what I am using right now, but is there something to use? I have seen the use of before and after and at time but so far can not find any descriptions of one method vs another other other than others peoples samples.
I should also add that I am using this from a raspberry pi, with a aeotec stick and 2 aeotec outlet switches.
automation:
- alias: '1 Lights on 4pm'
trigger:
platform: time
hours: 16
minutes: 0

entity_id: group.name
- alias: '2 Lights off 22pm'
trigger:
platform: time
hours: 22
minutes: 0
seconds: 0

service: homeassistant.turn_off
entity_id: group.name
