I have three schedules set up in blue iris. 1-Home, 2-Away, and 3-Night. I have one camera that has two presets. In schedule 1 its set to preset 1. In schedule two, set to preset 2. I want it to remain on preset 1 when I am at home and got to preset 2 when I am away. Schedule 3 runs from 11:59 PM until 6:00 AM. I would like the camera to go to preset 2 during schedule 3 even if I am home. I had this set up at one time but it has stopped working. I did get it to change preset at 11:59 but I can't get it to return to preset 1 at 6:00 AM. I have attached a copy of the action sets I have. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks

Is this the Action set for the ‘On schedule change’ button on the Settings>Schedule tab?
Can you move the camera to preset 2 using the BI interface? If not, you might need to Find/inspect the camera again on the Camera settings > Video> Configure tab
With these camera settings, the camera's profile never changes; hence the action set is never triggered.
I'm not sure without testing, but It may get triggered when Blue Iris starts.
Additionally, it is worth noting that Preset commands in Action sets can be overridden by a camera's Events schedule action set.
Specifically, check if setting 'Search back back at startup/reset' is enabled in the Camera settings > Schedule > Events schedule > Action set.

I think I figured it out. I have unchecked the "override global schedule" and It will respond when I manually change the profile. I will have to wait till next year now to see if it works. Thanks for the help.
For testing if an Action set is actually triggered, you could add a 'Push notification' Action to the Action set.
When I'm logged onto the BI PC, I actually prefer a 'Run a program' action like this

It is checked. I think I have it fixed. I have changed my internet provider recently and had some problems after that with blue iris because the IP address kept getting changed but it was most likely something I did that got it messed up.
