I am having the most painful experience trying to get Hubitat working in my new home. I have 12 Zooz dimmers, 1 Zooz motion detector, and a few smart plugs set up in the house. Here's where things stand:
-
The Zooz motion detector will capture motion and show a "Rule Machine" (Rule 5.1) Event for it in Hubitat about 10% of the time. When it does the rule triggers and the light comes on. Some days it will get up to 80%. It seems totally random when it will work and when it won't. Most of the time I can see the LED on the motion sensor flip on when I enter the room but Hubitat doesn't log anything and the light doesn't come on.
-
None of my "Basic Rules" (Basic Rule 1.0) for exterior lights turning off at sunrise, on at sunset have ever worked. Hubitat will call a command and the lights don't respond.
-
Likewise, the smart plugs receive commands to turn on and off based on my time of day rules and do not respond / nothing happens. I see "Command called: on" and "Command called: off" in the device logs but nothing actually happens. There is no log of the devices turning on or off. For these I tried using "Simple Automation Rule 1.2"
I have spent a ton of time with Zooz troubleshooting and nothing worked. It was only once I tried using Hubitat with a couple of the Jasco smartplugs and hit the same dead end that I recognized that Hubitat may be the issue.
I can go into Hubitat and manually turn on and off the lights from within the interface (is this called using the "paddles"?). So it seems like my computer is linked to Hubitat which is linked to the devices. Yet most of the rules I've created using 3 different approaches will actually turn things on and off.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
