Room Lighting App Pause not working

[raidflex]

I have a room lighting app that when paused does not actually pause the actions. Logs shows its paused, but the actions still trigger.

Pause only pauses Activation for Room Lights, not other things that might happen from the app. In the future, it would be better to use screenshots to show things about the app. Turn on logging in the app, and post those logs to show what is happening, filtered to the app only.

There is no other apps tied to these lights, only the one Room lighting app, which I would expect pausing the app should prevent the actions, unless I am wrong. I already had logging on, but for some reason that app is not showing any logs, odd. The other room lighting apps are logging properly though.

It's paused, so maybe it's not doing anything.

@raidflex

but the actions still trigger.

What do you mean by this? What actions? What trigger? Show the Room Lights setup page.

Yes, this would make sense.

@bravenel

The light is still being triggered when the door is opened, as set in the app.

[bravenel]

Show the In Use By from the Master Bedroom Contact device page.

I created a similar Room Lights setup, and it doesn't turn on the light when Paused.

[raidflex]

The only other app is set to turn on the lamps in the room, which is a different lutron switch, The lamps do obey the pause and do not turn on, using the same contact.

[bravenel]

My suggestion is that you remove this instance of Room Lights, and create a new, simpler one.

When Room Lights activates a dimmer, it always logs something like this in Live Logs:

Experiment with the new instance so that you can verify for yourself what the logs look like when it activates the dimmer, and then see if Pause stops that from happening or not.

You could also disable the app instance from the Apps page Disable column, and see what affect that has.

[bravenel]

My suspicion is that the transition could be the source of this. Please try removing the transition, and see if that fixes it. But, even the transition logs what it does.

[bravenel]

I have determined that this is in fact a bug associated with the interaction of Pause and Transition over time. Fix will be in the next release.

Okay, awesome thanks for assisting and the fix! Sorry I didn't have a chance to get back sooner, some craziness at home this morning.
