Lights not switching off

Configuration Blueprints
#1

When switching from the basic automation blueprint to one with a sun condition, lights are not switching off anymore. Lights are KNX and sensor is Homematic

mode: restart
max_exceeded: silent
trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: binary_sensor.bewmelder_auffahrt
  from: 'off'
  to: 'on'
condition:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: sun
        after: sunset
        after_offset: 60
      - condition: sun
        before: sunrise
        before_offset: 45
action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id:
        - light.lampe_auffahrt
        - light.lampe_aufgang
  - wait_for_trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.bewmelder_auffahrt
      from: 'on'
      to: 'off'
  - delay: 120
  - service: light.turn_off
    target:
      entity_id:
        - light.lampe_auffahrt
        - light.lampe_aufgang

What does the debugger say.

#3

What is binary_sensor.bewmelder_auffahrt?
The automation will only run when that binary sensor state changes, independently of the sun, you realize that, do you?

#4

As a newby I never did an automation outside a blueprint, so I’m not sure I can answer these questions.
What I know is that the basic blueprint did the job perfectly well, outside the fact, that ligfhts switched on even during daylight (see below)

 id: '1641233539751'
  alias: Auffahrt
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: homeassistant/motion_light.yaml
    input:
      motion_entity: binary_sensor.bewmelder_auffahrt
      light_target:
        entity_id:
        - light.lampe_auffahrt
        - light.lampe_aufgang
      no_motion_wait: 120

With my current knowledge I’m not in a position to add/merge the sun conditions into this code.
How should the lines in automations.yaml look like to get this done (ignoring the blueprints)?

Thanks a lot

Niels

have a look at Conditions - Home Assistant
your offset values are possibly invalid after_offset: "-01:00:00"

First thanks for the responses. The whole things with these lights is getting more and more confusing.
I tried to make use of your comments, but realized that my basics are not in a good shape:
I deleted all automations defined in automations.yaml or configuration.yaml. I deleted all automations from the blueprint GUI section. Nevertheless,

  • the light switches on 7:49 every morning and off at 18:40
  • when I create a blueprint, it’s not visible butr shows up in automations.yaml

Looks like a ghost is active from previous settings which makes new settings not working as well

any ideas to get me back to normal ?

Thanks

Niels

Did you restart HA or reload automations ? If not (even if deleted) the previous configuration is still active

#8

This.
If they still show up in the automations list in UI, you can click the ‘i’ symbol and delete the entity from there.
Then restart again.

Thanks AntonH. That worked
