Hi folks - newbie here, running Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi 4
I’m trying to set up an automation that runs at 10 seconds past the hour and 10 seconds past the half hour. I’ve read the documentation and had a quick search here.
But my automation never triggers. Any ideas? Here’s the YAML for the trigger section. Could someone hit me with a clue-stick?
No answers so I worked around it. Instead of using a Time Pattern (which people around here seem to dislike) to check my energy costs, I triggered the workflows on the energy cost becoming less than zero or more than zero.
There’s nothing wrong with using Time Pattern triggers where they’re appropriate, but when you have access to events they are rarely the right tool for the job. Many new users tend to fall into using them because the idea of repeatedly polling a value is easy to understand, not because it’s actually appropriate for what they are trying to do.
