Help with AWAY rule

I tried this yesterday, and got it to work by sending me a text, but that was then, and I cant seem to get this to work...

I had it set up way more complex than this, but have since dummed it down to see if I could get it to work, and so far I have not.

Can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong?

You can see its set in AWAY mode, and right now the door is closed (false). when I open the door and it turns to (true) I do not get the text nor does the light flash.

Could you at the Logs page, and/or the app events from the app status page, and see what the rule is logging?

Aha! Seems like it may be a hubitat issue!

Im also getting this error.. and my phone number is set properly

app:822018-12-12 09:18:37.962 pm errorjava.lang.Exception: Invalid phone number, numbers must start with + and be followed by country code and phone number (allHandler)

You got it to send you a text before, but did you have flash light in the rule at the time that you tested it? Itā€™s saying that your lights donā€™t support it the log. Are these lights connected directly to the hub, and if so when you look in the driver is there a flash button? If there isnā€™t then flash is not supported so you canā€™t use that. Youā€™ll have to simulate flash with another rule that turns the lights off and then on with a periodic schedule in seconds when that rule becomes true and stop actions when that ā€œflashā€ rule becomes false.

The light feature wasnt in there when I got it to work the first time. however it was removed and the second error i got popped up.

To see if they are related, try deleting the rule and recreating it with just the text messages. Ensuring that you number is entered as +1[area code][phonenumber] (e.g. +15556667777).

Keeping in mind that SMS is limited to 10 per day.

Using HSM, things are working for the notifications..

As for the "flash" feature, I was using a rule before to accomplish alarms, but now after enabling the HSM, the flash feature is still getting the same error
