Hello there, I´m trying to make an script triggered by a Hue Dimming Remote long press
switch off my TV by the Harmony Remote
switch of all unnecessary lights
switch on one dimed light for x minutes (to get out of the room)
set back the the lights brightness to 100%
turn of this light new brightness set
maybe play a playlist on a mediaplayer
But my script stuck after a successful Harmony Off Action, but only when I use the Hue Dimmer Remote, when I trigger the script via Home Assistant GUI everything works fine

Scripts don’t have triggers, automations do.
Ok then I’ll rephrase it, I built an automation that triggers a script when a button on the remote is pressed.

You can look at the trace for your script, like for automations, that may reveal why it is not working.

Probably going to need to see the triggering automation(s). Particularly ones that can cancel the script, if any.

Ok, I think I see what is happening.
The way you are calling the script:
sequence:
- service: script.good_night
Waits for the script to complete, see: Scripts - Home Assistant . And as the automation has this mode:
mode: restart
max_exceeded: silent
If the automation is re-trigggerd while the script is running it will restart the automation and cancel the script call.
You can confirm this by changing the atomation mode to:
mode: restart
# max_exceeded: silent
And checking the logs to see if the automation is restarted.
If this is the case, you have a couple of options:
Call the script like this instead:
- service: script.turn_on
target:
entity_id: script.good_night
This will not wait for the script to complete before moving to the next action. So if the automation gets restarted the script keeps running. The script runs in single mode so if it gets called again when the automation is re-triggered it will be ignored.
The other option is to run the automation in parallel mode instead of restart mode. I have not looked closely enough at your automation to see if this will be an issue for you.
Thank you very much, I changed to script.turn_on now, solved my problem.
