1 Z-Wave light just won't go off

I've got all my outdoor garage lights (Z-Wave) on a single group.

At Sunrise, I turn that group off.
3 of the lights go off. 1 does not. I can re-run the rule 2-3 times and eventually it will go back off. Sometimes though, it comes back on.

Is there a way in a rule to do a loop?
do light is on
turn light off
wait 10 seconds
while

I can't seem to figure anything out.

Cheers! :slight_smile:

Have you run a zwave repair?

Yes.

It did not help. :frowning:

Just in case it’s not a ‘mesh’ issue does the troublesome lamp turn off immediately when switched from the Devices page ??

Yes. reliably. If I manually switch it off via the hubitat devices interface, it goes off every time.

are you using the native group lighting app for this?

I’m certainly no expert With RM or Private Boolean but I’d be looking into using PB to do what I think your asking.
You should be able to have a rule set a PB, only when all the lights are On and then check the state of the PB.
You nest rules BUT I’d be very wary about using loops as they can bring your HE to it’s knees.
Two other things:

  1. have you tried deleting the App or Rule your using and starting afresh ? This has worked for me in the past. Cleaning up my stuff ups.
  2. What make and model are your lamps ?

I am not familiar with Private Boolean. Got a link?

I did finally get around to doing this last night and for the first time in a long time the light went off this morning. So it MAY be fixed. but it may not. Dunno yet. But all signs are positive. :slight_smile:

These lights are a model that are not recognized by hubitat. (Honestly, I forget the make and model) I have them set as Z-Wave Generic Dimmers. I've got 5 of them and they all work fine except in this one rule.

Thanks for your help!

Nope.

Did not solve the probelm.

I THINK that problem is that MAYBE the bulb is hooked to 2 Z-Wave controllers. The bulb goes off when the rule runs, but then comes back on at some point.

I do have an old openhab controller that I need to shut down. I'll do that and see if that solves the problem.

Yup. that did it. Apparently the old OpenHab system was still attached the the light.

Now everything it working fine.
