How do I fix automation that is not triggering correctly?

[soumitradutta26 (Soumitra Dutta)]

Hi Everyone, I am Soumitra Dutta an entrepreneur & photographer from Oxford. I’m currently having an issue with a Home Assistant automation that is not triggering correctly. The automation is set up, but it doesn’t always run when the expected conditions are met. I’m not sure if the problem is related to triggers, conditions, or device states. Could anyone share their experience

Start by sharing the automation so we can see how you have set it up.

This is a guess based on available info at this point: Automations #1: trigger only fires when it changes from not true to true

Select the automation and click on Traces in upper right corner. It might just show you what's happening -- assuming the automation triggered, which would also help knowning.
