Button Controller Pause/Resume Rooming Lighting Not Working

My goal is to use a button controller button push to pause all the Room Lighting apps except one called “Workers in House” which it would resume. When the double-tap is performed, it would pause “Workers in House”, and resume all the other room lighting apps. This way when workers, housekeepers, or whatever are present, the house lights stay on and when the workers/housekeepers leave, the Room Lighting apps return to normal.

When I push the button, it turns on the presence switches, changes the mode, pauses all the Room Lighting apps and resumes the “Workers in House”.

However, when I double-tap to reverse the process, it only resumes the first Room Lighting app in the list. It seems to ignore resuming the rest of the Room Lighting apps. I’ve tried both as a list (checking each app), and setting up multiple actions to resume one-by-one. I’ve added delays and it still doesn’t work. What am I missing? This seems so simple, yet it isn’t working.


I will look into this.

Turn on Action logging for that rule, and then post a screenshot of the logs. I just created a rule that pauses two Room Lights instances, and then resumes them. Both actions work as expected. BTW, you can combine those three actions into a single action.

Well, since all my RL rules were paused, I manually went in to each one to resume since neither the Button Controller nor Rule Machine would seem to resume the paused Room Lighting. When opening each RL rule, I refreshed the page. Even though the RL rule showed it was paused, the button showed Pause, not Resume. It’s like it was confused as to the state. After going through each one and “resuming”, now the button controller works as expected.
