It it considered a bug in the Motion Lighting App, when motion is to turn on two lights and one is already on, that the other is not turned on, the complaint being "Not turning on, already on" even though only one of them was on? I do not have any other options set other than to delay off for 10 minutes. Works as expected if I only try to turn on one light.
I am on release 2.2.4.147 and this is a new app instance since that release.
That looks like a different app, or at least a different version of the app, though I do have that option. I figured that option was to turn on an already on light, so as to trigger any events associated with turning it on, and not to continue turning lights on if one of them is already on. I'll try it tomorrow though and report back. Thx.
Same as mine...@dave7, to get to the screen shown, click on this on the main screen of Motion Lighting app. It's confusing, as the header on the screen above that you go to, doesn't match the name of the option on the app main screen (below).
Maybe the menu is context sensitive as my dialog with the same title has no mention of buttons or contact sensors, which I don't have any of in my system.
I'm curious now as to what yours looks like. Mine looks the same for both switches and dimmer types and even a color bulb. I even now just tried a few different options, and looked at both older and a freshly created app, and that is what mine looks like no matter what?
Ok I tried this, and setting that option does work and turns on the other light, but I have to ask if that is truly the intended function. Seems just because one light is one of multiple, the other should still be turned on, even without that option on, especially if there is a concept of turning on an already turned on light in order to trigger other events.
The right people to ask this would be HE staff...they either have a good reason for doing this, or a reason that you may not agree with for doing this, or it's something they missed.
If it was my code, I would consider that a bug. Depends though as I said, if it makes any sense to turn on an already on light, in order to trigger other stuff, in which case that would fulfill a different purpose, Hopefully the author chimes in as to any subtlety of that option...
