Home automation time of day failure

I am among those who still cannot get the Home time-of-day automation to work. I have the latest Apple TV with up to date OS version and a completely updated iPhone 12 iOS 16.4.1. The target switch device is a Wemo Smart Plug. Automations for on or off at a definite set time work just fine. On at sunset just doesn't work. Never has. What are all the settings and adjustments should I look at checking?

Home automation not working since update to tvOS14 I just updated my phone and Apple TV (main hub) to the latest version yesterday. My Fibaro motion sensor still displays as "motion detected" in the Home app when someone moves in that room. It also sends HomeKit notifications to my phone almost instantly when motion is detected, so it is definitely connected and working But it no longer triggers the automations set up for it, that turn on a couple of lights. It worked like once or twice, but not the other dozens of times it should have. Turning on the lights from the Home app works just fine, so the lights aren't the issue. I tried creating a new automation for it, and rebooting the TV, but it's still not working. Any ideas what I should try next to get this fixed?

Apple TV 4K (2021) as Homekit Hub with Sunset/Sunrise not working I recently purchased the Apple TV 4K (2021) and intended to use it as a Homekit Hub. Previously we used an iPad as the hub to control some outdoor lights using the Sunset automation to turn on, then turn off at 11PM. This worked rather well for several months. With the Apple TV as the hub, the Sunrise and Sunset automation doesn't work. The lights function fine when I put in actual times to turn on and off. Wondering if anyone had any similar issues. I've already restored the Apple TV (factory restored) and started over, updated to TVOS 14.6, rebooted iPhone that I use to setup automations, and nothing seems to be working. Thanks

HomeKit automation no longer working in iOS/tvOS 12.3 Seems our HomeKit automations no longer works now that our iOS/tvOS devices are using 12.3(.2). The Test Automation for any will work/activate the device. But any normal automated use does not activate. These very Automations have been in place and working daily for the last year. We have erased all our automations, rebooted our Apple TV hubs, performed the "Done" button click on any particular automation, and even reassigned the devices to the Home. Nothing has worked. Again, all devices work and can be activated using the individual buttons, as well as the "Test Automation"...but to date, none of the automations are working. Any suggestions?
