Smart home schedule or automation won't run automatically
Schedules need three things: a hub that's online, the correct time on the hub, and the schedule enabled (not paused). Check these three things and your schedule should work again.
Smart home schedules depend on the hub being online, having the right time, and being enabled. When schedules stop working, the hub is offline but the app still lets you control devices manually, so people don't notice. Check the hub's online status first, then the time, then that the automation itself is enabled.
