Reliability of automations. Simple daily automation triggers on random days.

I'm having trouble getting simple automations to work reliable.

Example:

I want to switch on and off my outside lamps (two KNX devices) using the Sun variables.

I have tried using "Sun.Day" without success and now I'm trying the Sun.NotDay variable.

Here is my program task:

Here is the current values of the Sun:

And here you see my lights are currently still on: (!)

Why?

I have made a button in my visu to run the program and when I push it the lights turn on/off instantly. So for some reason it does not trigger correctly.

Suggestions?

Thanks. I have tried to use the If/else previously with no better luck. The program runs great when I trigger it manually so there is something with the triggering. I will try a reboot (again).

Hi Joachim,

Your program looks good, I don't see any reason why it is not working properly.

For info, to make your program lighter, you could use "if /else".

Now, the only thing I recommend to try, is to restart the server. I had to do so when making several changes to the configuration to have them really be taken into account and working properly. Not always necessary, but sometime a must...

Hope this will fix it.

Regards,
