Sunrise logic changed with a recent core update?

Configuration
1

I have an automation with these conditions:

condition: and
conditions:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - after: sunrise
        condition: sun
        after_offset: '-2:00:00'
      - before: sunset
        condition: sun
alias: nicht abends

The point is that this should not pass in the evening/at night. But it somehow does since I updated HA core to a later version. It passes at 1am because the before sunset–condition is true then, even though the after sunrise–condition isn’t. Or perhaps I configured this condition incorrectly all along? I’m wondering what the or–building block is even good for here. I think I should omit it, shouldn’t I?

  • Supervisor2025.05.1
  • Operating System15.2

The two conditions are logical ORed so as long as one of them is true the ultimate result will be true.

Perhaps what you want is this one condition:

- condition: sun
  after: sunrise
  after_offset: '-2:00:00'
  before: sunset

The time must be in the daytime between sunrise (2 hours before sunrise) and sunset.
