EMS mode and automation

[mtrekker]

I have set up Nordpool automation which automates forced charge battery mode. But I am getting random EMS mode drift, sometimes it doesn't flip back. EMS mode simply flips to Self-consumption mode. Any ideas ?

automation:

- id: nordpool_cheapest_hours_switch
  alias: Nordpool cheapest hours turn on switch
  description: ""
  trigger:
    - trigger: state
      entity_id:
        - binary_sensor.cheapest_hours
      from: "off"
      to: "on"
      id: turn_on
    - trigger: state
      entity_id:
        - binary_sensor.cheapest_hours
      from: "on"
      to: "off"
      id: turn_off
  condition: []
  action:
    - if:
        - condition: trigger
          id:
            - turn_on
      then:
        - action: script.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: script.sg_set_forced_charge_battery_mode
      else:
        - action: script.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: script.sg_set_self_consumption_mode
  mode: single

Does it also happen if you remove the "else" block from the action?
Or you could try adding the same kind of condition like on the if block, to check if it is being triggered by the "turn_off" trigger.

Automations have pretty awesome tracing built in, did you check out if this automation was triggered?

Solved by using the following construction:

- id: nordpool_cheapest_hours_switch
  alias: Nordpool cheapest hours turn on switch
  description: ""
  trigger:
    - trigger: state
      entity_id:
        - binary_sensor.cheapest_hours
  actions:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              state: "on"
              entity_id: binary_sensor.cheapest_hours
          sequence:
            - action: script.sg_set_forced_charge_battery_mode
        - conditions:
            - condition: state
              state: "off"
              entity_id: binary_sensor.cheapest_hours
          sequence:
            - action: script.sg_set_self_consumption_mode
  mode: single
