Can Simple automation not turn on scenes anymore ?
Tonight when the scene changes to evening no lights turned on for that scene. So I automatically turned the scene on - but within a few minutes my system turn them off again.
Usually with a HA update I might need to go into hub settings and click OK on the location or OK on mode manager and away we go again.
I dont really want to have to alter / adjust my settings because of an update with something as simple as scenes.
Yeah, but you don't need 'Scenes per mode', For that matter, you don't need the IF-THEN-ELSEIF either. Just a single Scene per mode will do the entire thing.
when the scene activates - its then being turned off by a lux setting that only regards to day mode.
mate this is super frustrating as everything worked great under 2.2.4

all these lux rules relate to Day mode, but are firing in Evening mode.
It seems as though you are chasing several different things. In the OP you talked about Scenes not turning on with SAR, without ever really digging into what had gone wrong. I'm sure you are frustrated. Maybe there was something in the update that upset the apple cart for you, but I don't know what it is. I do know that changing mode will turn on a Scene activator switch as you seemed to want to have happen, and then it will turn off again when the mode changes again -- using SAR.
The lux off option in Motion Lighting is not tied to any mode, just to lux value.
I thought initially that SAR wasnt activating the scene when the mode changed.
I have written that process in RM now and it is working, what i observed is that the lux rules that I had were overriding the activated scene and turning the lights off outside of the mode they were told to work in, that had been working for months.
*if you can please advise a way i can rewrite these to get them back that would be great.
What do you mean? To the best of my knowledge nothing has changed with SAR that would mean it no longer has some functionality it had at some point in the past. That doesn't mean there isn't some bug, but I seriously don't have a clue what you're talking about.
The below Motion Lighting illumniance rules I had have been working for a year.
After the recent update i thought that my scene activators were broken, but it was the Motion lighting rules that were activating my illuminance rules outside of their modes (day, evening, etc)
