RL has wrong light status

still a bit new with Room Light.

I have one RL to turn off all lights.
almost every time I trigger it, the RL status goes to "someOn"
when I look in details to find which one light didn't go off, it's often a different one.
tried to exclude the dimmer, factory reset dimmer, pair dimmer, re-add to RL. that seemed to worked well as it was always a different/new dimmer.

now im at the point where a dimmer I excluded, reset, included, is till showing as not off. like at any low random level, like 12%. but when I go check the dimmer physically, it's off. then I go into devices, click the dimmer and status is 12%. I hit refresh and now it shows off.

any idea?

dimmers are zooz zen72

Probably a Z-Wave mesh issue, not Room Lights. You can turn on Debug Logging in Room Lights to see the device responses to being commanded by RL. That might show you which one doesn't report reliably.

thanks Braveel for jumping in!

got a weird one that I thought I solved but came back.
turned all lights on in the house (calling different RL: basement, main floor and 2n floor)
then wait 5-10 seconds and call the house off (named dodo)
everything goes off then lights to the second floor goes on.

starts with this one
CDM-Escalier-D was set to 10
and I feel/think that trigger lights in RL-3w-Escalier2e to also go on. but that RL is configured to go on and off "physical only" so not sure why they go on too.

those 3 have been excluded, factory defaulted, paired and the RL got re-created yesterday.

Sorry, I can't deal with copy/paste logs. You have to use screenshot instead.

Look at the Events for those devices from the button at the top of their device page. It will show the event type there.

and here the light really go on.
not the status that shows on but light is off.

it's just that I was trying to replicate the issue 5-6 times without success. then this occurred...

sure. sorry

yeah, really seems like it triggered the "RL-3w-Escalier2e" (picture above)
unless I missunderstood, "physical only" means I have to physically tap the dimmer on or off for this RL to trigger.
here I did not and it seems to have triggered

tried again, about the same result. one of the 3 lights in RL-3w-Escalier2e went ON and triggered that RL same RL to go on.

It means the device has to report the type of event as Physical. Sometimes other things than tapping a dimmer will do this, depending on the driver. That's why I said to look at the device events, to see what it's reporting.

hum, ok. thanks
here is the log of one occurance.

I'm not talking about these Logs. Hit the Events button on the device page to see its events, and the Type column.

In the logs you just posted, there are no off commands to CDM-Escalier-D shown, so how do we know that's the wrong status. Where is the off command that turned it off? You can see an on command, so the status right after that could be right. Can't tell with what you've shown.

got it. thanks for helping! much appreciated. learning a lot.
all the way down, seems like a off command has been sent, right?

AH, that cool. didn't know that.
so we see I called it off at 3:50:47 which match the log in post above. then it went on at 12% which is the question... why? (when it's actually off, but shown as been on at 12%)

in above picture, under "triggered apps"
the only RL where this dimmer is either a "means to activate" or to "desactivate" is RL--3way-escalier2e which is curently sitting like this:

all other RL do not contain this dimmer in "means to activate" or to "desactivate".

hope that helps... cuz im a bit lost as to why it does show 12% when it's actually off

and signal seems good...

also, writing makes it hard to "read" a person. so im not complaining at all. just trying to help make this hub better.
I was amazed to see a patch been release the same day for a little issue I found. so if I can contribute and find some more enhancement, ill be trilled to contribute!

I just love those RL. they are so fast to execute VS scene that I needed to add metering!
love it!
keep it up!

ok, after spending several hours on this, I think there are 2 issues.

1: when I call my all off RL (called dodo), all lights go off as expected. then, mysteriously, the hub start to randomly reports switches to be dimmed back up when it's not true, they are actually off. see device RDC-SalleManger-D in picture below

2: if a dimmer affected by the issue above, is part of a RL and is also part of "means to turn on", that false ON event will trigger the RL to go on even if "means to activate" is set to activate on physical only.

see RL-EscalerSS and their 3 members (RDC-EscalierSS-D, Garage-EscalierSS-D and SS-EscalierSS-D)

I saw a firmware update yesterday. applied it.
I saw zooz zen72 has a firmware upgrade. did that too on some dimmers. that does not change the issue

logs when I call the all off RL (called dodo) and some notes to facilitate reading

RDC-SalleManger-D that hub wrongfully reports as been dimmed to 8% then 9% when it's actually went off and stay off as expected. several minutes I hit "refresh" on that device and we see it going off when it was actually already off

and now the 4 way switches for the stairs of the basement. that is issue #2 explained above.

  • hub wrongfully report dimmer garage-escalierSS-D as been dimmer to 5% (can't confirm the "wrongfully" due to RL-3w-escalierSS been triggered)
  • RL-3w-escalierSS gets triggered and turns ON all 3 dimmers in RL-3w-escalierSS

the RL-3w-escalierSS

hub wrongfully report dimmer garage-escalierSS-D as been dimmer to 5%

and the 2 other dimmers of that RL going on too.


hope that helps!

What kind of device is this?

The hub is not inventing events, and the device is clearly showing that it was setLevel to 8 five seconds after it was turned off. Look at the bottom of its device page for other apps that use this device. Something is commanding the device.

devices are all zooz. almost only zen72. a few zen71

let's take RDC-SalleManger-D as I can look at the dimmer physically and see the little blue led indicating it's off and the light fixture is actually off too. then, several minutes later, I can hit refresh on the device and it shows off. so I think it's safe to say that it's off, even if hub reports it been turned on to 8% then 9%

here is what's at the bottom of RDC-SalleManger-D
SAM-used by

and here are those RL "means to turn on" and OFF




from what I can see, nothing can trigger it to go on at 8% then 9%

No, this is not safe to say at all. Those events are real, and are coming from somewhere. The hub is not making them up.
