First attempt at Basic rule, not working!

🧰 Built-In Apps and Drivers Basic Rules

Hi all, I have just swapped from Homey to Hubitat. Created my first rule for Hall lights:

When Hall east, Hall west any activate ...
Turn on Hall lights
Wait until Hall east stops, then ...
Turn off Hall lights

Restrictions: 6am - 10:30pm. Disable when Hall lights ON.

I have a MultiSensor6 at each end of the hall and a Fibaro Dimmer2 for switching. The lights turn on fine but never turn off. I originally had a turn off delay but even with a simple turn off, it doesn't happen. Any suggestions please?

See if the device is responding as expected from its device page. Also, turn on logging in the app, and check the logs. Usually, this is a result of the device not getting the command, or of one of the battery devices not successfully sending its command. Logs are the best way to tell what happened.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the sensors and they appear to be recording the events as expected. Any other suggestions?

Please use screenshots for logs, so much easier to read. Turn on logging for the app, not just the device,, start with a blank Logs tab, and then put the app through its paces. Post those logs.

Thanks for the advice. Will do.
