Hi, apologies if this is a basic question. But I'm trying to setup a rule where if I turn on / off a switch (lutron radio ra 2 dimmer), I want aSylvania LED RGBW strip to turn on / off. I've add the device to HE and I used the simple automation rule app and it kinda works, but so far it seems unreliable. It sometimes doesn't work and when it does work there is a 5 second delay between when I turn off my radiora 2 switch and the LED switch turns on and off. Any way to make this more responsive / reliable?
The next step would be to program the strip so that is cycles throughrandom colors with slow / dimming transitions, but I'll take one step at a time.
So you need to figure out if the delay is the switch, the rule, or the LED strip. Have you tried controlling the strip via the settings page? And on the settings page for the switch, does the Current States in the upper right corner instantly change when you flip the switch?
You can (should) turn on logging for the rule and see if you can figure out where the delay is happening. Those time stamps should reveal if it is the rule, or not. Post log screenshots if you need help decoding them.
Also screenshots of your rule would be pretty helpful.
