Issue when calling an automation?

[4irm]

I am running 4.3.8, I linked an automation on the button page - actually starting a cleaning task of my vaccum calling a service/action.

When hitting the button on the panel usually nothing happens, however, when triggering the automation via home assistant UI directly from the automation menu the automation works flawlessly.

Any clue? Thank you!

That's probably because by default it "switch" on/off the automation instead of "trigger" the automation.
You have to change the action to execute the automation instead.

Thanks for the feedback, maybe I have just found the solution...
