Error setting up automoli when omitting daytimes twice

[paviro]

😩 Describe the issue/bug
When setting up two instances of automoli without a daytime array the second one fails for some reason. When removing either one the other one works. When both are there the last one fails with the attached error.

The part that fails is actually my code but I am really unsure why it only fails when a second instance is used without a daytime array = why in that case the starttime already is a datetime object instead of a string.

😒 Expected behavior
It should always fail or never and not only when using two instances without daytime.

[SergioRius]

Same problem here. Was starting to configure Automoli, but this issue makes it unusable.
EDIT: Took the path of creating dummy scenes as a workaround.

[overas]

I also have the same problem.
HA Addon AppDaemon Current version: 0.9.3. Automoli v0.11.3 installed from HACS.
