I have set up three Raspberry Pi Zero Ws, one Witty Pi 3, one Witty Pi 3 Mini, and one Witty Pi 4. All three Raspberry Pi Zero Ws are running Linux 6.12 Trixie.

The default state when powered is set to ON.

The good news is Witty Pi 4 is running without errors.

The two Witty Pi 3s cause problems with the same Schedule. 
 After powering on, the red and white LEDs remain lit, indicating a constant 5V output. Manually pressing the power on/off switch has no effect. Witty Pi 3 seems to be blocked.
But all scripts in /wittypi can be started via SSH without errors.

Is there a timing-problem with gpio-4 ?  Should I reinstall Bullseye or Bookworm?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

I can not see the picture you attached, but this seems to be the daemon.sh did not work, and it may quit due to error.

There is rather big chance that the software was installed incompletely, most probably lack of wiringPi or something related to the 'gpio' utility. You can install the software again and see if there is any error message.
