@slagle Lools like routine with sunset offset is failing for me at least with the new app update today. I have opened a ticket. Even putting the routine at a specific time failed.

After further testing, as of this moment everything is working - that includes scheduled events, Modes, Smart Home Monitor, and Routines. Hallelujah and God bless America! It was probably a combination of things, but I deleted the failing routines and recreated them, and pressed Done in SHM setup.

Whenever you update a rule, the rule is evaluated. This is true whether updated by Rule Machine, in the IDE, or by hitting Done in the rule. This does not happen with triggers, conditional triggers, or actions.

[image] bravenel: This does not happen with triggers, conditional triggers, or actions. Ok, do I should only use this for everything except rules, unless I’m ok with the house doing things… Oh wait, this is ST… It adjust does that!

There’s a good reason why the rule is evaluated upon update: Suppose you edit a rule, and change it somehow. When you hit Done, it’s effectively got new conditions and rule, so it evaluates the rule to establish the initial rule truth state. That is the same code called no matter how the rule is …
