trigger:
  - platform: device
    domain: mqtt
    device_id: redacted
    type: action
    subtype: "off"

The device is available, the scene is available. Editing the trigger doesn't make the automation availble.

#

Why is this happening?

#

why are you redacting the id's?

#

they aren't passwords

#

recreate the trigger, or switch to an event trigger

hence i am asking, I am surprised I could not find any information about why it is unavailable in the first place

spark narwhal
#

well it's not unavailable, you're looking at it

#

are you sure it's not just disabled?

#

any automation that gets auto disabled or removed will have a log entry telling you why

#

and a repair

#

I cannot post screenshots in here anymore for some reason, but it has a large red unavailable header above it

spark narwhal
#

you never have been able to post screenshots

#

only in frontend channel

#

use a image sharing website

light shale
#

no repair, checking logs

#

just to make sure, where would I see the repairs? in the devices page right?

spark narwhal
#

they pop right up

light shale
#

nothing

spark narwhal
#

you can't miss them

#

thyen are you sure the automation is unavailable and not running?

light shale
#

Yes 100%, big red header and symbol, never executed and would not trigger.

#

nothing in the logs regarding this specific automation

#

a restart fixed it though

#

very very very strange
