Repeating automation trigger not working

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I’ve attempted to see if others have reported the same issue, and found one other request, where the answer was to add “/2” to the hours, however this gets stripped out when I save the automation I have created. So basically, I’m looking to trigger an automation every hour, to check a calendar entry, and have the following code:

alias: School Holidays - New
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    hours: /1
  - platform: time
    at: "00:30:00"
  - platform: time
    at: "12:00:00"
condition:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: Inset days
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: Summer Holidays
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: Bank Holidays
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: Bank Holiday
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: Holidays
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: Inset Day
      - condition: state
        entity_id: >-
          calendar.webcal_www_pollingtonbalneprimary_com_diary_ical_okwqstgfveim_ics
        attribute: all_day
        state: inset day
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.family_calendar
        state: Holidays
        attribute: All day
action:
  - service: input_boolean.turn_on
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: input_boolean.school_holidays
mode: single

I’ve added the extra times in case it needed to be triggered initially, for the timer to be active… however even that didn’t work.

Would anyone have any suggestions.

Currently we’re patched to :

  • Core2024.7.4
  • Supervisor2024.08.0
  • Operating System12.4
  • Frontend20240710.0

Running on a raspberry p4 using Hassos.

Thanks

/1 should trigger it every hour on the hour.

are you sure that it’s not triggering but the n failing the condition check?

To figure out what is going on the best thing is to look at the trace for the hour that did not execute the actions you wanted it to. I would more suspect it’s an issue with your conditions
