Hi Experts,
I have an automation, where I aske for different things.
The weather, the tempratute, the wind-speed
I used the temperature as trigger and the other values as conditions connected with OR and AND
My problem is, that the numeric-state-trigger fires only one time by crossing the given value.
I want a permanent monitoring of the temperature.
Is this somehow possible?
I use the weather.home entity
It is not recommended to continuously trigger an automation, but you can use state trigger-
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: weather.home
attribute: temperature
will this fire permanently?
Yes, everytime the value of the temperature changes.
Okay, I’ll try …
I just want, that everytime the temperature changes, the other contitions should be checked
This is my automation and it doesn’t work.

try checking the automation trace and see what is stopping it from running.
I think you have your conditions wrong.
Looking at your automation
when temperature changes
and windspeed <30 and temperature >24 and …
and partly cloudy and (either sunny or cloudy)
then reposition cover
The way I read it, it must be
partly cloudy and sunny
or
partly cloudy and cloudy
I think it would be enough to be not rainy…

…but it still won’t work.
Did I use the code right?
mode: single(d)?
Or maybe instead of guessing what is keeping it from running yuou should check the automation trace and see why it’s actually not running?
Oh, what ist the automation trace?
…found it
Correct me if I’m wrong. It seems you want to always set cover.markise position to 66 when: (1) temperature is above 24, (2) wind_speed is below 30, and (3) not rainy.
Can you show me the state and state attribute of cover.markise? Maybe you can use the position of cover.markise as a trigger if the position changed while all condition are true, the cover.markise position will be returned back to its original state.
