Basic Rules Restriction by a switch Issue

🛎️ Get Help Apps

Basic Rules using switches as a restriction aren't switching between restricted and vise versa when turning the switch on/off. They appear to work fine the first time you turn the restriction switch on and then off but any other subsequent on/off does not cycle the restriction as if the event subscription is broken.

Also seeing errors when using sunrise/sunset offsets as restrictions like some other users have posted. 2.2.6.140

Other than that, great app!

Yeah, this one snuck by in 2.2.6.140 unfixed. Fixed in upcoming 2.2.7. I will look into the switch restriction issue.

Thanks! Fun app to come up with...

It appears to me that they work, but that the display of the app in the Apps List is not correctly displaying the restriction state. Bug found -- disable switch state change not updating app name to include "Restricted". Fix in next release.

It's definitely more than just the display of the app name that's not updating correctly. I set up a test rule using dummy devices just to confirm it and the rule will execute regardless of state of restriction switch. If I open the app and then restrictions and hit done it will work again but only for one cycle of the restriction switch.

OK, I will dig a bit deeper. Skin deep definitely had a bug...

As far as I can tell, it works as expected. I banged away on it over and over; correct each time.

I was able to narrow it down. The test rule I set up was when "test trigger" turns on, turn on "test switch" and wait until "test trigger" turns off and turn off "test switch" restricting if "test restrictor" is on. I removed the wait until and it works flawlessly. Shouldn't the restriction still work even if a wait until is used?

Ah, nice catch! Yes, it should work. Fix will come in next release.
