Smart plug time of day automation not working

Configuration
1

Hi everyone

I’m new to home assistant so please bear with me, and have limited coding experience so just working with the Ui.

I’m have an Eve smart plug (matter) connected to my pool pump and I’m trying to have it turn on in the morning and turn off in the afternoon. I have set up an automation in HA but it doesn’t seem to trigger. Manually turning on and off within HA works fine and I have shared it to home kit via HomeKit bridge and it also works and automates through HomeKit fine. So I’m presuming it’s my HA automation that is the issue.

If I select “run actions” it also works. And I have checked my current Timezone is set correctly

“Run actions” doesn’t test trigger or conditions, so that’s where the problem is.

Your screenshot looks fine but it’s more helpful to post yaml if you can. Click on the overflow menu top right and select “Edit in yaml”. You can then copy the code and paste it into your post. Make sure you paste as “preformatted text” (</> in the toolbar). It should look like this, with all the indentations intact:

triggers:
  - entity_id:
      - alarm_control_panel.alarmo
    to: pending
    trigger: state
conditions: []
actions:
  - data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: timer.alarm
    action: timer.start
