After the previous update, my c8 room lighting automations quit working. I have a Z wave device that I set up to cut on and cut off at a certain time. The device cuts on at the set time, but does not cut back off at the set time. I’ve tried deleting the automation and completely re-adding it.
I tried to upload a screenshot of the rules I have set up, but it will not allow me to attach a screenshot. Basically I have it set to activate at 5:30pm and turn off at 10:30pm
Click on your profile here in the community and join the "Owners" group - then you can post pics. Not being able to post pics (and link I think) is a spam/bot mitigation for new accounts.
If on works but off doesn't, I'm inlclined to think issue may be something other that the rule, but hard to say w/out more info...
What do the logs say arond those two scheduled times? The logs will likely hold important clues.
Welcome aboard!

I can manually cut on and off the device and it responds fine. I just looked at the logs, at the scheduled off time, it says device already off. That’s not the case though the device was on.
What do the device's own logs say about when it supposedly turned off, and what turned it off?
It doesn’t show anything in the device logs at the turn off time. It shows where the device was cut on at the scheduled time and then it shows where I manually cut it off after the scheduled off time, but no events in the logs after the scheduled on time until I manually cut it off well after the schedule of time.
Is there anything happening in the logs at the turn-off time that may be related to the device?
If you use Alexa, is its "Hunches" feature turned off (as it should be)?
Sometimes it helps to go into the rule setup and hit "Done" -- that's a bit like the good ol' off-then-on trick to help shake loose something stuck.

Re the logs, just to be clear, are you looking in the logs page, the device events page, or both?
I would suggest following @hydro311 's instructions so you can post some screenshots of what you are seeing.

It may help to include the platform version you are running and
The device and driver you are using.
I think I got it to work. I just went into the means to turn off settings and set it to turn off, even if partially off. Since I change that setting, it seems to be working fine.
It seems like it’s not seeing the devices status or confused whether the device is on or off. The logs indicate the devices already off when it’s on. That’s weird though because on the main device page it shows on but in the logs at the scheduled time the error is that the device is already off.
Not sure, I’ll give it a day and see if that fixed it and upload some screenshots
I’m running version
2.3.9.193 on a c8
The device I’m using is a Aeon Outlet
