What have I done wrong here? (Time and temperature as triggers)

I thought this was a pretty simple automation but it’s not working.
I just want the heating to turn on if it drops below 18.5’c between the hours of 0515-2015hrs but this morning the kitchen temperature was reading 17’c and no heating came on.
The sensos is a Tapo linked via bridge. The heating is a Shelly device, both device reading anf responding as you’d expect so has to be something I have done wrong?

Check in the Tapo app if the temperature was already below 18.5 °C right before 05:15.

Between 0500-0545hrs it was 17-17.1’C @Andreas_Roedl

Don’t forget to enable the run at start time option in the time condition, otherwise it won’t trigger:

Slightly off-topic, but we desperately need an interface like this for time based routines:

This goes in the right direction, but it doesn’t reflect the Then of a routine:

Maybe an idea for the next SDC Innovation Challenge!

Oh my days, did not realise that option!! Thank you for saving me more head ache!

Cheers mate, was not aware of this!

Try using Range option not Equal or below.
It works with any temperature set in the range for example
