Having an issue that I can’t seem to figure out with a simple flow- “when” it’s sunset - “then” turn outer light to “x” color. The issue I’m having is the light will turn on but it won’t set it to the color I select and will only turn it on to the light color I had previously even though it’s set to a desired color. Any ideas on why this is?

Thank you for the response. I tried the two “thens” but still to no avail. I will post in that thread. I appreciate it!
