Hi there. Automation is not working, please need some help

Hello.

Starting with the beggining:

I have 3 scenes:

  • TV ON (lights at 40%)
  • TV OFF (no lights)
  • TV pause (lights at 100%)

Also I have 3 Automations named:

  1. AUTOMATIZARE: TV ON
  2. AUTOMATIZARE: TV OFF
  3. AUTOMATIZARE: TV de la playing la pauza

The first two of them works perfectly but the 3rd one wich should “action” the scene “TV pause” with lights at 100% isn’t working (this should action “TV pause” scene on pause video on YouTube or Netflix).

I’ve been searching over the internet, all automations are same thing but in my case doesn’t work.
My TV is Samsung Smart TV Ultra HD AU7092, 4K, HDR.

Any help, please? Thanks in advance

have you tried “from: on” or “from: playing” ( what ever state it has when it’s “Playing” ) :wink: , as it hardly can have a state “null” … copy/paste the entity into /Settings/States, to se which “states” you have

Beside there no such “Command/Service” called “paused”

DON’T , Partly many YouTube, and other Forums(aswell here) Can, and will be “OutDated” … So If you really insist onSearching Internet, make sure you Check-Year-posted, And HA-Versions

Best advice, ALWAYS read the Documentation in here first, next search this Forum ( And read the 2 very first “Welcome-Posts” in Top , where these suggestions also is mentioned )
