How to run an automation with multiple actions that contains conditions simultaneously

[bosparsothygesen]

Hi there,
I have an automation where the two final actions both contain some conditions.

So action A basically turns on the light in the morning and then turns it off again once it is not dark anymore.
So the cycle of action A lasts anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours depending on the time of year.

My issue is that the next action - action B - does not start until after action A has ended.

So:

• Can anyone explain to me why action B only runs AFTER the cycle of action A has ended?

Shouldnt these actions just run one by one by and not interfere with each other?

Kind regards
Bo

Use Run In Parallel. Then, put those two inside there.

Because actions run in order from top to bottom.

Or have two automations.

No need for that craziness
