Can you check the automation trace and verify it did not run?
Moved out of WTH since this doesn’t at all appear to be a WTH
I’ll have to wait until tonight. I deleted the non-working automation and made this one, exactly as before. I hasn’t run yet.
But thanks for your attention.
My sunset activation trace shows it activated at 6:42 am this morning. Strange. I’ve checked my time zone is correct.
Are you in a VM? Is 6:42am the correct time (seems unlikely)?
You have a trace, so it’s running the automation.
Are you sure the entities you’re turning on/off still work?
No VM.
I noticed shortly after 6:42am that the switches had turned so that must be correct.
I can manually activate each switch, so that part is working.
What are you general settings set to? Specifically elevation
EDIT: I just noticed you said Core
. So you’re only running HA core?
And you’re sure that the current location of Home is correct?

Duh. You prompted me to check location; still set at Amsterdam! I’m assuming this will sort it out for me. (so, sunrise/sunset is by location, not time zone. Didn’t know that.)
Thanks for your guidance.
