Probably a complete noob question, but I’m trying to make my first automations to turn on and off a Shelly 1 that I’ve got connected to my EV charger. The automation in question is supposed to turn off the Shelly1 if the battery charge on my solar is below 40% and the time isn’t between half past midnight and 4:30am, yet every time I “Run Actions” on the automation it turns off the Shelly1.
The code is as follows:
id: '1658601285827'
alias: Turn off the EV charger if the battery is low
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.battery_state_of_capacity

condition:
- condition: time

after: '04:30:00'

I’m wondering how to express the sensor.battery_state_of_capacity - is “0.4” 40%? or does it require “40”? either way it turns off the Shelly when I run it.
