OR works as AND

[jpilsa]

When using the condition OR it seems that works as an AND.

In may case, sensor.at_climatecontrol_outdoor_temperature is currently at 20ºC so this:

• entity: sensor.at_climatecontrol_outdoor_temperature
  operator: ">"
  state: "10"
  message: AT Temperatura exterior a {state}
  priority: 1
  theme: temperature
  icon: 🌡️
  show_badge: false
  conditions_logic: or
  conditions:
  • entity: sensor.at_climatecontrol_outdoor_temperature
    operator: <
    state: "5"

should make the card to show up but it doesn't, whereas this:

• entity: sensor.at_climatecontrol_outdoor_temperature
  operator: ">"
  state: "10"
  message: AT Temperatura exterior a {state}
  priority: 1
  theme: temperature
  icon: 🌡️
  show_badge: false
  conditions_logic: or
  conditions:
  • entity: sensor.at_climatecontrol_outdoor_temperature
    operator: <
    state: "25"
    type: custom:alert-ticker-card
    cycle_animation: split
    show_snooze_bar: false
    ha_theme: true

makes the card to pop up. Is that a bug or am I missing anything?

Hi @jpilsa 👋

You diagnosed it correctly — conditions_logic: or was broken by design. The primary condition (operator / state) acted as a mandatory gate: if it failed, the code returned false immediately without ever looking at the extra conditions. So the effective logic was always primary AND (cond1 OR cond2) instead of primary OR cond1 OR cond2.

Fix in v1.2.5:
The primary condition is now included in the OR pool together with the extra conditions:

or mode → primary OR cond1 OR cond2 (any one passing is enough)
and mode → primary AND cond1 AND cond2 (unchanged, was already correct)

Fixed in both the main card evaluation and the overlay banner evaluation.

Your example at 20 °C with temp > 10 OR temp < 5 will now correctly show the alert (20 > 10 = ✅).

Hi,
The feature/fix you requested is now available in AlertTicker Card v1.2.5

Please update the card via HACS (or manually) and let me know if everything works as expected on your end. If you run into any issues or the behavior is not what you had in mind, feel free to reply here and I'll take a look.

Thanks for your patience and for helping improve the card!
