Basic rule vs rule machine using Zooz Zac36 valve

[joseph.deck]

I have narrowed down my problem closing a Zooz Zac36 ball valve. If I use a basic rule to open and close the valve it works perfectly.

If I use the rule machine the valve opens correctly but does not close correctly.

Any thoughts of what I might be doing wrong?

The order of images is incorrect. The logs are reversed.

There is a known bug with Rule 5.1 in 2.3.0 where the "open/close valve" actions will always open the valve, even if the option is toggled to close. This will be fixed in 2.3.1.

See here for a related discussion:

Generic Z-Wave Valve won't close from RM 5.1 rule, but can from device page

While testing something else, I observed that my Generic Z-Wave Valve can open/close/on/off from the device page and operates fine from valve template on a dashboard. But within an RM 5.1 rule, closing the valve does nothing. However, turning it off does close it, and open/on also work. I repro'ed it as follows: [valve1] The valve (that I'm physically watching) doesn't close until after the delay and the off is issued. See also that the valve device itself reports back that it was turned off…

I think there is a workaround to use "OFF" instead of "CLOSE" if I remember correctly.
