Trying to get Home automation to check the power state of a lamp and send a notification if it's on. "Get Desk Power State" outputs "Yes" when running the action through Shortcuts and testing the automation in the Home app but the action outputs "No" when the automation is run in the background at a time of day. Does anyone know why that is and know of a workaround?

@simonbs Try to remove the "get" block and receive the state of your lamp directly in the condition field of the "if" block. That’s how I do it in my home automations and it usually works.
