Door not unlocking when arriving home C7

📐 Rule Machine®
1

Hello,

This worked once to unlock but did not lock front door. It doesn't work at all. I set when I arrive home to unlock the front door but if I go through the garage and open the laundry room door, it will lock the front door.

I'm on platform ver. 2.3.5.152

Thanks for the prompt response. I just turned on the logs. I'll see what happens when I get home.

I think you're having timing issues within your rule.

The first two actions are

Unlock: Front Door Lock
Wait for event: Front Door Lock unlocked

What are you trying to accomplish here? If you just want to make sure the Front Door is unlocked before sending the notification then I think Wait for Expression would be the better option. Once the Wait is satisfied your rule will immediately execute the next two actions within milliseconds. I think that's happening much faster than you can open the Garage and Laundry doors. Instead of IF-THEN use

Wait for Expression: Garage Door, Garage Laundry Door all contacts open
Lock: Front Door Lock

Is there a certain amount of time you want to wait for the doors to be open? If so, there's a different application for the Wait.
