#Light automation not working after update?

Since the latest update, are there any known issues with light automation?
I previously configured my lights to dim to 25% at night and to 75% in the evening. Unfortunately, this automation no longer works for me after the update.

There is no general problem like that

#

Please provide the YAML for the automation and what lights they are for future help

Thank you for the information. I’m still not completely familiar with Home Assistant. So far, I’ve been using it in a way where I turn the light on the first time, and then turn it on again to set the desired brightness.

I’m using Zigbee lights and Govee local lights. If I’ve done something incorrectly, please let me know peek

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

Is adjusted

#

those conditions will only be satisfied for 1 hour a day, from 23:00-midnight

#

seems unlikely that's what you had in mind

#

the sun condition is essentially not doing anything there

left crag
#

Ohh

hushed void
#

unless you live near the poles, I guess

#

in which case maybe it's never satisified

#

I actually want it from 11:00 PM until sunrise.

Does this look correct?

hushed void
#

that will do 11PM to 8AM

#

if you really want it to stop at sunrise, you can use a later time for before: (like even 12:00) and then add a sun condition back with before: sunrise

#

so the later time won't matter, but will cover midnight through the morning, and then the sunrise condition will restrict it to before sunrise

Ok!

#

Thanks

below_horizon or use sun elevation to more precisely represent the amount of light

#

Quick question: is it possible to set it, for example, from 10:00 PM until sunrise, or does it reset at midnight?

sharp wyvern
#

That would be an or condition.

#

After 10PM, or before sunrise.

hushed void
#

And those would be two conditions in an or: block. You can't combine a time and "sunrise" in a single condition
