I am a newbie with HA. I program Philips Hue which is very easy even for me but since two weeks I try to start with my HA with ZBT-2 for using Zigbee devices. I use ZHA and try to make automations but looks difficult to me how to start
Start with reading Automation Basics to get an understanding of how HA automations work… then follow the link to learn about the Automation editor.
Thank you, I will read of course. For the sunset trigger I have tried again and set up the sunset in the program but does not want to react. This morning I put a time ( 09:00:00 ) to switch on and it worked so the socket reacts to the signal. What can be wrong with the sunset settings ?
This works fine for me for years now:
So if you run into problems can you post a trace ? (top right on the page of automation)
Thank you for your help, I used this automation and now it works, the problem was that the sunset time was not correct, but looks like I have found how to sync with my please so let’s see tomorrow
If your sunset is not correct, it means that you have not set the time zone, elevation & location correctly.
Go to Settings > General and double check that all 3 are correct.
Yes, I just did it, thanks
If the sunrise/sunset times are showing correctly now, remember to update your automations ![]()
