When I want to tilt blinds after close/open at specific %, automation not waiting to reach close/open position and immediately move to next step.
I have: Open to 40% → 2sec later → tilt blinds downward/Tilt blinds rightward
But when it starts opening, immediately after 2s (when is still opening) is blind tilt and automation ends.
Weird is, that preview button in automation is working correctly, but automation triggered by sunrise not.
I’ve seen a few people run into this with the new Automation 2.0 update. It’s super confusing, but double-check if you’re using ‘Is open’ (the status) versus ‘Opened’ (the action) as your trigger. Sometimes the system wants the specific action to kick things off, otherwise it just sits there.
Yes , like @grobert2k told , there are two kinds of automations possible- please show us a screenshot of your automations and we try to help.
Automation 2.0 also has some features which should make it work
Since you said preview is working, but the automation based on the sunrise is trigger is not, have you tried putting in a hard-coded time to test it? This troubleshooting could confirm or rule out issues with the trigger itself.
That’s not correct. When I hit Preview button, blind is opening to 40% (it takes about 15s to full open state), then it waits 5s and then is tilted.
But when Sunrise hits trigger, it starts opening to 40% and after exact 5 seconds while it’s still opening, blind is tilted and automation ends. So blind will get around 6% than is tilted and that’s all.
It looks like, that Preview button waiting to finish opening and then wait 5 second and then do tilt. That’s what I want. But when automation is triggered by Sunrise, it will not wait to finish opening state.
Which part? I re-read your original post and that is what you said - preview is working, but automation isn’t. What did I get wrong?
My suggestion was just to modify the automation as a means of troubleshooting if the trigger is the issue.
Problem is not about trigger point, but about different behavior between Preview button and triggered one.
When I selected automation and hit Preview button, it is working correctly, but when it’s automatically hit by triggered point (sunrise/sunset) than it has different behavior.
