Time conditions in automations no longer work in ZHA following HA software update

Hi,

ZHA/HA newbee here. Running on HA green with ZBT-2.

I have been running a number of simple automations for a couple of weeks without any problems. However following HA update last night (1 July 2026) all my conditions using time within automations are broken. Specifically they show as 'condition did not pass'.

I attach a screenshot below. The motion sensor should switch on light if time between 00:15 and 06:30 but this is now shown with a red cross. The only time conditions which pass are nonsense ones such as 'after 06:30 or before 00:15' which I've added here for illustrative purposes. I have tried deleting and rewriting the automations and rebooting HA. I have the same problem with my conditions which were 'after sunset and before sunrise.' These are all shown as 'condition did not pass'.

I am at a loss what to do here. Is this a bug or have I corrupted my set up?

I am running

  • core-2026.7.0
  • OS version 6.18.37-haos
  • supervisor HAOS 18.1 version 2026.06.02

Thanks, David

Those red crosses are just indicating that the specific condition currently is not being met. In your case it means that the current time is not between 0:15 and 6:30 (but then of course between 6:30 and 0:15).
It is meant as a helpful indication while working on the automation.
So it is no error indication. The automation should still function.

Thank you thusassistint, now I understand. I assume they were part of 2026.7 update.

However I find the use of red crosses in this way confusing!
