I am not sure if this is a bug or not but it seems when creating new rules using RM4.0.
(2.1.6.118), I have to be careful to do the following or the newly created rule will not be active.
Once I create a new rule, I noticed that unless I select RUN ACTIONS, then select DONE to finish up my new rule, then this rule will not activate.
If I create my new rule and just complete my steps by selecting DONE and forget to select RUN ACTIONS before selecting DONE, the rule will not work.

Can you paste a screen cap of the rule? I have just created 6 more rules this morning and haven't had to run run actions before hitting done.
On a newly created rule, run actions won't even show before hitting done.

Example pics show where I did not select RUN ACTIONS and you will see the state at the top the rule name "Cycling Test" does not properly reflect this is a Repeating rule and the other pic is where I did select RUN ACTIONS and at the top the rule does reflect the state as (Repeating)
Run actions only runs the actions of the rule regardless of the trigger event. So, when you create the rule, it won't run until the trigger condition is met. If you created the rule after the mode changed to day, it won't run again until the next time mode changes to day. So, it makes sense that you wouldn't see (Repeating) until you run the actions as the trigger wasn't executed.
Also, you don't have an END-REP after your command. You should add it as that could cause issues going forward.
Another thing, what happens when your mode changes away from Day? This is the way I would do it:
Thanks for the clarification. As you can see, still a noob trying to get familiar with RM.
I will see if I can recreate the path you recommended and test that. I prefer your example of the triggered event also so thanks.

No problem! We were all new at some point and... LOTS of trial and error!
