PJlink | unavailable time error

Configuration
1

I have an automation to turn off my projector when my AV receiver turns off, however when the automation is triggered to power off the projector, it throws an the error:

Stopped because an error was encountered at May 14, 2025 at 2:23:55 PM (runtime: 1.63 seconds)

unavailable time

If this will also happen if I trigger the automation manually, but not as often.

I am able to power on and off the projector using the PJlink card as well as switch inputs.

The automation:

No clue how to fix
I will test on my PJ

Post make/model in case that matters

I’m seeing pretty much the same issue with a very similar automation - seems to occur very frequently now since I updated to the latest version of HA.

Error:

Perform action ‘Media player: Turn off’ on Epson_Projector

Error: unavailable time
Result:
params:
domain: media_player

service_data: {}

Let me know if I can provide any additional information to help trace and test the issue

Thanks
