Have a flow configured to change modes on arlo cams when present or night. Works great until 0000 - 0600, then it switches back and forth from home to away every minute. At 0601, it's back to normal

I know bigtimer updates every one minute, so it leads me to believe the problem is there, but since it’s in the correct state during this time window, I’m assuming it’s not switching on/off. I’ve added a debug on it for tonight in the interim.

I’m using bigtimer in another flow, as well. On the other flow I do have bigtimer to check temperature and fan speed between 0000 - sunrise. Sunrise happens to be 0548. Could this be the issue? Is bigtimer conflicting with itself on different flows?

I know that I’m still just talking to myself here, but I also changed the above flow to not use bigtimer. Instead, I configured the poll state node to poll every 60 seconds to see if the fan is on. Then I used the time range node to only evaluate during midnight and sunriseEnd. I don’t like using it this way because now the poll state node is checking every minute for 24 hours instead of only checking every minute for ~6 hours.

I am a dumbass. my inject nodes that are there to manually control bigtimer were configured to inject every minute between 0000 - 0600.

i think you are turning big timer on/off and auto every minute with the inject modules.

I am. I just found that this morning that I’m an idiot. I copied those over while I was testing and never looked at them again. And I edited my post at the same exact time you did.

is it working fine now?

I’ve got to adjust the times on the nodes so I can test because this epiphany came to me after 0600.

I assume it will.

So it’s just after midnight and I never got around to testing earlier today. It seems to be working just fine. Thank you for helping me pull my head out of my ass.
