For the last few weeks, my time-based functions have not been working.
Examples of things that used to work and no longer do:
Set thermostat to energy-efficient setting X minutes after Away mode kicks in
Wifi presence shows 'not present' 5 minutes after IP address isn't active
Thermostat turns off 5 minutes after patio door is open
Weather won't update (5-minute refresh)
Lights on sunset won't turn on
Garage door alerts every 5 mins that the door has been left over
Garage door automatically shuts 15 mins after being left open
...and so on. If they never worked, that would be one thing, but all of these have worked for years .
I can perform all of these functions manually. Weather updates, when manually refreshed, for example.
Some are Notification app, some Rule Machine, some Legacy Rule Machine.
I've rebooted so many times.

To rule out database corruption as a possibility (and because it should be harmless as long as you don't reset anything manually beyond a soft reset), I might try a soft reset and restore, after downloading a backup, as mentioned here: How to Troubleshoot Apps or Devices - Hubitat Documentation .
For the sun-based automations, you may also want to make sure your time zone and location (latitude/longitude) are correct in Settings > Hub Details, though it sounds like it's not just that.

Thanks. I'll give that a go.
I did check location, and everything seems to be right there. Not that I've changed it in years.
As a test, I created simple rules to send a message at sunrise, sunset, and 11 pm. No dice.
Will try the soft reset.

And that worked like a charm. I guess now I will try to get other things that stopped working to function again (like the Thermostat Controller.)
Thanks!
