Time rule not working, sort of

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

I am probably missing something I have two rules. One uses CRON to turn a plug on. This rule works no problem. The other rule uses the OpenHAB time. This rule never seems to work. Code is to follow, I am also having to end of headaches getting ‘Sun Up and Sun Down’ rules to work. I am now wondering if this is part of the same issue. Do I need to restart OpenHab when I update rules?

Any help, pointer, snickers at what I am missing are all welcome… Anything will help me make this work.

Code for CRON:

triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      cronExpression: 0 10 8 * * ? *
    type: timer.GenericCronTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      itemName: TPPlug1_Power
      command: OFF
    type: core.ItemCommandAction

Code for internal clock (This does not work)

triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      time: 08:07
    type: timer.TimeOfDayTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      itemName: TPPlug1_Power
      command: ON
    type: core.ItemCommandAction

You do not need to restart OH to pick up changes to rules.

Beyond that I see nothing obviously wrong with these rules. There was a problem on another thread that has had some time triggered things appear to be greatly delayed from their scheduled time. Let it sit for a bit and check back in the coming hours to see if you have the same problem. If not we’ll need your OH version and how it’s installed.

As a work around you can use cron triggers instead for now.

For Sun Up and Sun Down I think you need Astro installed and configured.

Found the error/issue. I did not set the time zone in HABian. Everything works great now!
