Or condition within automation not working

Configuration
1

I have used two conditions for my Garage door. If it’s open for more than 5 mins then send notification
However, when I add another condition with Or, it’s failing. Is it because all conditions need to be true ?
How to get this working then ?

alias: 'Notify: Garage door open'
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.zone_9
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 5
      seconds: 0
    to: 'on'

  - condition: time

    after: '18:00:00'

You’re not using the “or” correctly. :slight_smile: What you do, is to give a second condition that can have “or” conditions within. It has nothing to do with your first condition. :slight_smile:

What you do is:
condition1 (true or false) AND (condition2 (true or false) OR here would be another condition for or)

what you want to do is:
(condition1 OR condition2)

condition:
  - or:
    - condition: time
      before: '08:00:00'
      after: '18:00:00'
      weekday:
        - sun
        - sat
        - fri
        - thu
        - wed
        - tue
        - mon
    - condition: time
      before: '17:00:00'
      after: '09:00:00'
      weekday:
        - fri
        - thu
        - wed
        - tue
        - mon
