Simple Lighting Did not execute

I have a Simple lighting app that turns on 3 lights together and another that turns on living room lamp. Nothing worked. Green light on Hub but when I went to HE it couldn't be found. Rebooted hub and HE worked so I had to manually go in and turn on. This is the second time in 2 weeks that this has happened.
My problem is that I go away for extended time some times 4-5 weeks with no one home. If this happens while away what can I do?

I've had similar issues with Simple Lighting. Routines work great for a week or so then all of a sudden stop working, or are very slow to execute. Don't seem to have issues with Hue bulbs connected to the Hue bridge, but do have the issues with Cree bulbs connected to Hue. Also have the issue with Sengled bulbs connected to HE. Hub reboots seem to speed things up for a week or so, then back to the same thing. Started porting my Simple Lighting routines to RM 4.0 last week. The ones I have ported are working well so far, but it will be another week or two before I can say with confidence things are different/stable.

I also have had these issues. Simple lighting rules fail to fire or are very delayed. Checked my logs and NO errors, NO warnings, nothing, just info and some debug info.
Not motivated enough to log a ticket, but I am switching to rule machine also.

For a resolution, you could get a wifi plug,but it's not ideal to hard shutdown via powercut. I'd suggest using chrome remote desktop, if you have an always on PC at home and navigate to
http://(your.hub.IP.address):8081 and use the reboot choice or use a VPN to get to your home network.

I am not sure how to use Rule 4 or any other version since I hae only used SL. Can someone write or copy how to do this for
Lamp 1 and Lamp2 to turn on at Sunset and off at Sunrise. Thanks for the help.

Here you go...

Thank you for the rule.

Here's another way to do it with just one trigger and the "Wait for events:" action.
