Pause and Resume Notifiers with Rule Machine

🛎️ Get Help Apps

I'm currently on HE 2.3.7.145

I'm trying to pause a couple of notifier apps and then resume them after 5 minutes using Rule Machine. The trigger is a virtual button. The first action pauses the notifier rules. The second action resumes the same rules after a 5 minute delay.

After the rule runs, the notifier rules still appear as "paused". When I open each notifier app to manually resume them, the simple act of opening the app un-pauses the rule. In other words, after opening the notifier app, the option presented in the top-right is "Pause" and not "Resume", as if to say the notifier app is currently active. When I close the app without making any changes and return to the main "App" screen, the paused status is cleared.

Here are things I've tried to troubleshoot:

-Refreshing the main "Apps" screen to see if the "pause" status next to the notifier rules disappear
-Removing the delay in the rule
-Logging out and back into Hubitat
-Rebooting Hubitat

None of these things worked. To clear the "paused" status, I have to open each notifier app and close them.

Looking forward to any advice, including alternatives I could use to "snooze" these notifier rules.

Thanks in advance!

I have brought up this EXACT BUG numerous times over the past year(s?). It existed in 2.3.4, 2.3.5, and I thought it was going to be addressed in the 2.3.6 release but alas, it is still there in 2.3.7.. :frowning:

Functionally it doesn't matter, the unpaused Notifications rules are actually unpaused even though they still say paused. But as far as my brain is concerned, it's so very annoying...
