The trace clearly shows that conditions/0/conditions/0 is false and so is conditions/0/conditions/1 yet the expected result was still true?
This is a simple automation that turns on my LG C1 TV when my computer turns on (I use a TV as a monitor), yet it instead turned off my TV.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
it’s pretty hard to examine things via images.
could you grab the download trace and post that as well as post the original automation?
Here’s the trace of the downloaded trace:

Are you sure that switch.13900k didnt change the state to on?
ok. thanks for posting those.
i’m not sure what you expected to happen, but i can explain what i see and we can go from there…
in your first condition:
- conditions:
- condition: trigger
id:
- Ben Occupied
- Computer on
- Ben Occupied 1s
- Ben Occupied 2s
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.lg_c1_48_power_helper
state: "off"
the binary_sensor.lg_c1_48_power_helper was on. so this condition failed. here’s the relevant part:
"action/0/choose/0/conditions/1/entity_id/0": [
{
"path": "action/0/choose/0/conditions/1/entity_id/0",
"timestamp": "2024-09-29T18:51:33.605689+00:00",
"result": {
"result": false,
"state": "on",
"wanted_state": "off"
}
}
in the second condition, it succeeded because the that same sensor was on, and your condition asked for it to be on:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.lg_c1_48_power_helper
state: "on"
here’s the relevant part of the trace:
"action/0/choose/1/conditions/0/conditions/2/entity_id/0": [
{
"path": "action/0/choose/1/conditions/0/conditions/2/entity_id/0",
"timestamp": "2024-09-29T18:51:33.605845+00:00",
"result": {
"result": true,
"state": "on",
"wanted_state": "on"
}
}
],
you said:
i presume you mean this about the second choose. if so, the reason is because you have an “or” wrapping the those two conditions such that if any one of the conditions being true makes the overall condition true:
### this "or"s the subsequent conditions together.
- condition: or
###
conditions:
- condition: trigger
id:
- Ben Not Occupied
- condition: trigger
id:
- Computer off
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.lg_c1_48_power_helper
state: "on"
Ahh yes, I totally forgot it’s an or condition. I’ll move to test the condition in the action part!
Thank you so much! I can’t believe that slipped my mind.
Problem solved!
