Actions not running after trigger

C8 v 2.3.9.199

I have 15 of these blinds and once in a while I have one or more rules that simply don't run when they are triggered. The logs are empty. I'm at a loss as to why. They are all triggered by a virtual blind changing and will say the rule is repeating, but no actions seem to be running.


Can you please log everything for this rule (events, triggers, actions)? If nothing else, at least the trigger should generate a log entry.

I don't use any repeats, so I'm definitely not an expert, but your very first action is just a plain "Stop Repeating Actions" -- that seems problematic to me, but perhaps not.

Apologies for the speed bump if that's quickly disproven by smarter folks.

Suggest you temp disable the first two statements in the rule and try to run the action without those two stop repeats at the top of the rule. The repeats look ok inside the if part of the rules, not sure what the first two are doing, but try to temp disable the first two and run actions and see what happens. my 2 cents jj

When I run the actions from within the rule, they work immediately. The three living room blinds didn't have full logging on. Some others did. Unfortunately, once I open a rule and modify something, it seems to start working again. I've turned on full logging for all 15 blinds and will wait until it happens again. Too much logging quickly fills the buffer, so I have to get to it quickly when it happens. I'll keep the post updated.

To follow up on this, the Stop Repeating Actions will only work on a repeating action if it has been made stoppable. Go in to the Repeat action and turn on the Stoppable? switch. Additionally, the SRA after the Until will do nothing since the Repeat has already ended. It won't fix the issue you're seeing but right now changing the Virtual Blind won't stop any Repeats and that could make future logs confusing.

Well...since I "touched" each rule to add full logging, they are all working now. Is there something that might have caused them to not run properly that was "reset" when I modified them?

Good catch. Thank you!!!!
