Schedule issue

Configuration
1

I have an issue around a schedule which sued to work but now does not

Despite the schedule being off, the below automation always runs, even thought it has a check in it.

Can anyone spot an obvious mistake I have made?

The way the trigger is configured it should fire on every change of the state or any attribute. If that’s not what you want, please describe how you want it to work so we can give suggestions.

Is it actually executing the actions when the condition fails? Please download and share the debug trace so we can see what is actually happening.

I want it to only successfully run when the night schedule is on, but I use it alongside other schedule to check when I come back home which is the current schedule that is on, and for it to turn the right heaters onto the right temperatures.

I have just been running the automation by itself when the schedule is off, but it still completes the automation and changes the temptress, when it should not

I see but I have the following which combines all my temeprtru checks, but for some reason it does not work as it used to.

The idea is that this checks if we are away, or using a boost mode. If not, then it should run through all the different temperature schedules (all built like the ninth time one) and then it should run the one which passes, as the other should not pass due to the schedule not being active.

I have made sure my schedules are not clashing and only one is on at a time.

All your actions are set to skip the conditions in the automations they are triggering, like the “Night Temperature” automation. So, based on the provided examples, everything is working as it has been configured to work.

If you want…

conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: schedule.night_schedule
    state: "on"

… to be respected when called by the “Away Temperature” automation, then you need to set all the skip_condition option to false.

FWIW, none of the And conditions in the “Away Temperature” automation are doing anything except making it harder to read. The only time when an And condition is needed is inside an Or or Not condition.

could you show me an example for Night Temperature so I can fully understand what you mean.

I wouldn’t say the issue is with “Night Temperature”, it’s with “Away Temperature”…

But I guess you could also avoid this problem by changing “Night Temperature” as follows:
