Script Editor And Condition.

yodatom10 — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 05:35:41 GMT

I have a night time script that shuts down the house once we've gone to bed. I have multiple starting triggers just in case we aren't in bed/home at the original trigger point. I've also built in a condition block to prevent it from running over and over. However the script is continuing to do so. Doing some debugging the first condition(Presence sensing) is working correctly however it seems that the second part(And) of this condition is not working as I expect:

`condition:`

`type: and`

`# "AND" together two or more conditionals`

`conditions:`

`- type: home.state.HomePresence`

`state: homePresenceMode`

`# [available operators: is, isNot]`

`is: HOME`

`- type: device.state.ArmDisarm # For devices such as security systems that support arming and disarming, this indicates whether the device is armed or disarmed.`

`state: isArmed`

`is: false`

`device: ADT - Coat Closet`

Does anyone have any ideas on why this condition is still returning as TRUE where it should return as false after the first execution? Especially seeing part of the script is setting the security system:

`- type: device.command.ArmDisarm # Set the alarm level of the device.`

`# <code>true</code> to arm the device, <code>false</code> to disarm. [Available parameter options: arm, cancel, armLevel]`

`arm: true`

`devices: ADT - Coat Closet`

`armLevel: NIGHT`

TIA!

Thanks for sharing. Can you please provide the full automation script for us to better understand the issue?

Thanks for sharing the full script. We weren’t able to reproduce the issue on our end using virtual devices in the Google Home Playground. We used the same condition structure, and the script did not run again when the presence was set to HOME and the security system was already armed:

condition:
type: and
conditions:
- type: home.state.HomePresence
state: homePresenceMode
is: HOME
- type: device.state.ArmDisarm
state: isArmed
is: false
device: securitysystem - Entryway

How do you determine whether the script is running more than once?
