Dim light rule

📐 Rule Machine®
1

I had made a rule that if my hallway switch was physically turned on after a certain time it would immediately dim. But if I increased the physical switch the level it would respond accordingly.

Recently something changed. Now when I physically increase it, it will brighten then immediately dim. Below are screenshots of the rule and logs.

In your log it only shows the rule machine log, showing that the rule was Triggered.
That means the device reported that it was changed to on at that time and the rule ran accordingly.
I think we would need to see the logging for the device as well to determine if it sends an "on" state each time you adjust the brightness physically.

Based on the log there is nothing wrong with the rule.

Thanks! I'll be away a couple of days and then I'll get i shot of that log.

Ok here is a copy of the logs when I hold increase on the dimmer.

Actually I think I figured it out, sorta.

I was running a GE custom driver and I just remembered getting an update on it through HPM not long ago. I switched it to a generic dimmer driver and it's behaving normal now.
