Struggling with multiple triggers

Configuration
1

Trying to start when both conditions met … don’t really understand why not waiting for second trigger . Appears to test once then stop on 2nd trigger … advise appreciated

I think you need to have two triggers in your trigger section: one for each of your ‘conditions’. That way your automation will be triggered by either of your ‘conditions’ occurring.

Then, I think you need to have both your ‘conditions’ in the conditions section. That way your automation will only perform any action if both the conditions are satisfied.

Thank you … Did try that but seems to run once then gets stuck

4

Could you provide the yaml you had for that? If you do, could you use the code formatting option in your message.

5

Your automation’s wait_for_trigger has a timeout of 5 hours. If Home Assistant is restarted while it’s waiting during the 5-hour period, or if you execute Reload Automations, the wait_for_trigger is terminated.

If you use the Automation Editor, a Reload Automations is executed the moment you click the Save button. Any automations that are “in-progress” (such as waiting for a wait_for_trigger) are terminated.

7

Any better code paste (sorry new here)

Ty but don’t believe I edited whilst waiting to run … 5 HR timeout is just to ensure battery does not discharge fully if battery - does not trigger

Edited many thanks

I wonder if this may do what you want:

Have you checked the automation’s trace to see how it handles the wait_for_trigger?
