I have a number of issues that really make my wife mad. Last night the motion detector in our closet showed motion and turned on the light waking her up. Not good. It is a zooz motion, any way to change that sensitivity? But to compound that I have a pico remote that should turn off all the light. She hit that and it didn't work? Here is the log:
So why didn't the rule respond? That is extremely frustrating to her.
I have about 25 inovelli switches, and there are 3 that just randomly turn on. One has a motion sensor, but two don't. Those logs don't show anything other than the light mysteriously turning on.
you can't adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor without physically blocking it. i've seen people use tape to block off certain sides to have it not detect in those areas
instead of turning off each device, create a group with them all and turn off the group. also, did your wife press button 5 on the remote?
go to those devices in the Devices tab and scroll to the bottom. review the "In Use By" section and see what has access to those devices. it seems a lot of people are having issues with the Alexa Hunches, and it is turning on/off devices on thier own (because Alexa feels it should be in that state at a certain time)
i have some rules for some devices to handle those outlier casess. especially hue lights which come on when the hub or light reboots due to anything or power fluctuations
Perhaps my math is failing but although it says 'held', the duration was 0.094 seconds, not even 1/10th of a second. My own experience that the held state needs to be maintained for 2sec.
108 is the lutron hub which the pico goes through. The pico switches always give a response from both pico and the hub. With the Hub giving the DEVICE id and button combo. I think the 106 is the hubitat saying it what signal it got from the pico. Have to understand the lower level code I think to be sure, which I don't know. But i know from tests that the timing comes from the DEVICE commands received.
Not a problem - I appreciate every response. I really just want to understand why it doesn't always work as it should. I don't mind, but it really makes the wife mad. So I'm still looking to understand phantom signals and the hub not running rules. I have some outside lights that are bulbs that turn on from an inovelli switch too and from a time rule. One of them doesn't turn on from the time rule, but works just fine from the switch, but only if I turn them all on or off twice. I want to dig down into that, but my wife never notices that, so it isn't as important
@kahn-hubitat good point about resets. I guess I need to check defaults for power on. Maybe a loss of power is doing something to the phantom lights. Thanks.
@dadarkgtprince The mysterious switching didn't happen today so I don't have logs for them. I'm just relaying what I saw in those instances before. I'll capture those logs the next time. In the log above you can pretty clearly see it was button 5 being held. The hubitat reports it, but doesn't seem to respond to that event. I don't get that part. The rule that was supposed to get triggered is also shown above. It seems reasonable. I'll try with groups. First I've heard or seen that a list of devices can't be counted on to respond, but that does seem to be my experience.
Whatever you do, don’t tell her a mouse or spider set it off.
Told my wife I saw a spider in her car. She almost called in the National Guard to get rid of it. Some glue boards captured Peter Parker and some of his friends. Telling her not to eat in the car falls on deaf ears.
Back to your issue ... how do the remotes work today?
The ZooZ 4in1 sensors I use can have their sensitivity adjusted (wish people had this setting)
I'm not sure what causes it, (perhaps it's part of Lutron), but there seems to be some sort of "rebound" going on with Pico's. That is, If you hold for approx. 2 sec. then that counts as a "held", but if you continue to hold, then it comes up to a "push".
