I have 2 simple automations to turn ON and OFF lights at Sunrise and Sunset
they were working perfectly but from past few days they are not being triggered timely
tried numeric_state conditions with elevation but no gain, they are triggered very late or not being triggered at all
tried the suggested elevation values and various other but still no go
I am also attaching trace files of both automations
here is my Sunrise automation:
alias: turn Garage Lights OFF when Sunrise
