Yesterday afternoon my automation to Close Window Blinds at Sunset triggered. Could not figure out why. Today it happened again. The Lux sensor was >50,000 lux but today I noticed it reported 3 lux for about 30 seconds. I’ve modified my automation trigger and added ‘off for 2 minutes’…

Also added this:
- condition: template
value_template: ' {{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.automation.window_blinds_sunset.attributes.last_triggered
| default(0)) | int > 72000)}}'
so after running it cannot run again for at least 20 hours.
