#Can you not use trigger ID in "And if"? Automation never triggers because sequential of condition

Trying to turn my balcony lamps on and off in a single automation.

The first condition is true, with balcon-on trigger. I expect it to go to actions. But it then continues with each condition check, defeats the purpose of trigger-id. What am i doing wrong?

alias: "Balkon: lamp aan"
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: sun
    event: sunset
    offset: 0
    id: balcon-on
  - trigger: time
    at: "22:30:00"

  - trigger: time
    at: "00:00:00"

The list of conditions you have must all be met in order for it to reach the action part of the automation.

I'd suggest moving your conditions into your choose conditions.
