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?

I did a "repair bOS server" and also moved the folder with the program from Tasks to Devices\KNX.

Not sure what did the trick but it is now working fine for the last two triggerings.

Nice to read you got it to work !

I believe the repair made it work as my test program was under Tasks not under Devices\KNX. Anyway, most important is it works.
