Schedule not working (any more)?

By the mid of November I've set up a schedule to turn on a lamp periodically by night.
It seems so, it isn't working anymore.
I've tried to find out (via the "utilities" plugin from Karl, the last records in the database are from November 17th.

Can one have a look at the screenshots, please?

I want it to run between 11.30pm and 5.30 am, every day, randomized and to turn on a bulb, then shut off.

Thanks,
Yassi

I don't understand why you have the conditional: your schedule will execute once every day randomly between 11:05pm and 11:55pm. Your condition will actually mean that once the randomization is applied, it will further restrict it so that it will only run if it's after 11:30. So I'm afraid your logic (and description) are probably not what you're actually looking for. Can you more specifically describe the intended behavior?

Since you have the schedule with a randomized start time of +- 25 minutes, the schedule could activate between 23:05 and 23:29 which would make it outside of the condition you set: 23:30-05:30. That's my guess.

I think I've mada a mistake explaining it - and also the "Schedule" tab is not correct.

It should be so:

Schedule:
Time: every hour
Randomize by: let's say now 10-15 mins
Date: every day
Start: let's say today, never end

Condition:
between 11.30pm and 5.30am

Action:
Turn on bulb or whatever

Jay, please have a look at the new screenshot.
Should be fine now, what do you think?
Same condition (between 11.30pm and 5.30am)
