Hello, I’ve been trying to automate my Wiz lightstrip to turn 35 minutes before the sunset. Everything in the code is working except the trigger for sunset. I tried everything to get it working, searched many discussions but nothing seems to be working for me, the automation simply would not start. …

Hard to tell without proper formatting. Add ``` to the beginning and end.

Maybe sounds like a silly question, but have you added/enabled the Sun-Integration /In /Settings/Devices & Services ? BTW Did you use the UI-Editor or are you “trying your luck” in yaml ?

You should format your code so we can see if you have errors outside of the basic text. [image] How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question Configuration Before we begin… This forum is not a helpdesk The people here don’t work for Home Assistant, t…

Yes, all sun related entities should be enabled. I used the UI editor and copied the code from “Edit in YAML” option. I’m beginner, so I don’t know much about Home assitant, sorry about the unformatted code, you should see it in a proper way down bellow: alias: Obývák - západ slunce description:…

[image] myshit: the automation simply would not start. And by above you mean you waited until 35min before Sunset, and it didn’t trigger(35min before) ? PS: As i don’t know “where on earth you are” i just wonder, because here 35min before sunset is like hours ago !, so it wont trigger again …

Yes, and that’s what it should do. I want it to start the automation 35 minutes before sunset, the lights should be slowly increasing the brightness until 100% when the sun sets and there’s not much of a light in my living room by that time, I live in Czech Republic. I’m kinda experimenting with it …

go to your automation, click on trace , i assume you made this automation prior to 35min before sunset !, So you really “experienced” it didn’t “trigger” In the “Trace” you’ll see the “last triggered time” [08.05.2024_23.45.38_REC] Czech Republic !, so i guess you´ll have to wait another +20 hou…

I created the automation few hours before the whole thing could even start to execute (it should start 35 minutes before 20:16 (sunset) on May 8th). I ran the automation manually to test it few times when it didn’t start on designated time, so the step details won’t give me any useful information no…

[image] myshit: so the step details won’t give me any useful information now It will show if the automation was “executed” and if you click the Trace-TimeLine, you’ll se the rest So yes it’s “Useful” Information, for you and for the person(s) who are willing to help you :wink: But it’s ok i…

I want to share the info and I believe it is very useful for diagnostics, but I played with it so that information may be disorted. Here is the screenshot: [IMG_1308]
