Only-Run-Once-Appliance don't work

[ioniks]

Hi,

When i set Only-Run-Once-Appliance to on, when i set to off the entity, the automatisation set to On a few time after if they have solar.

How i can have only one on for a day ?

Thanks

I have same issue. Is there a solution ?

[ioniks]

I have create a trigger when it's activated and deactivated it after, and re activated it the next morning.

So you don’t use the „only-run-once-appliance“ anymore ?

[ioniks]

Hi,

you have to turn the automation off, and then switch off the entity:

service: automation.turn_off
target:
  entity_id: automation.nameofautomation
data:  {}

(you can already turn the automation off, as soon as the script had switched your entity on, e. g. by an automation which is triggered if your entity is switched on)

How i can have only one on for a day ?

you can create another automation to activate your automation once a day. In this example at 7 o clock:

mode: single
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    hours: "07"
    minutes: "00"
    seconds: "00"
condition: []
action:
  - service: automation.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id: automation.nameofautomation
    data: {}

(not tested, but should work)

Thanks

welcome :-)

Hi @Maik7,

Thanks, like I previously say I already do that as a patch.

That's sounds more like a workaround not like a solution. The switch in the blueprint have no Funktion.

[ioniks]

It's not a solution, it's just a temporary fix behavior

[Maik7]

Oh, I misinterpreted appliance_once_only (mixed it up with appliance_on_only). For testing purposes I have some simulated appliances. I can test this feature with that.

[Maik7]

Yes, I can confirm that run_once does not work. It can be fixed by adding one "else" in switch_on, but I think it is better, to add a check in the on_time loop. Maybe I can create a pull request next week

thanks i will wait for
