Sunset automation triggers incorrectly

[martin_maalek]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been having trouble with my sunset-based automation – it’s supposed to trigger only at sunset, but lately it has started triggering at seemingly random times, sometimes even at 10 AM. It currently fires about once every hour.

This automation used to work perfectly, but it stopped behaving correctly around half a year ago. I haven’t made any changes to the automation itself, so I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar?

Attached is a screenshot of the automation setup.

Any ideas what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!

In your case, it may be that the automation with (°°) can trigger periodically. This trigger can come from the cloud during the periodic weather notification of the application. Try using a one-time automation. And then it is re-enabled in another automation after the time you set, for example at lunchtime, before sunset. I quite often use one-time automations for such cases.

Also, in some cases, OVERWRITE automation helped me, try that too.
