How come my lights never turn off? What am I doing wrongly?
Is Room Lighting inappropriate for this use case? Should I be using Basic Rules instead?
The top log shows the issue. The app believes the plug is already off so will not send an off command. You should include the plug logs in the list to see if there is any indication from the device of its state changing or any issues.
Under activation options on the activate options section you can choose force. Then select force on the device control table. The app will then send an off even if it believes the plug is off.
This options should obviously not be necessary. I'd check the plug device page to see if it is properly reporting state changes.

Based on the log provided, I'm seeing a lot of overrides happening as it relates to the delay before turning off. Personally, I would tweak your Means to Turn Off. Instead of Any Motion Sensor, I would use All Motions stays Inactive and add the 3 minutes there. This would allow you to get rid of the delay and make logging significantly cleaner.
If you want it so that either of those motion sensors can turn off the light after 3 minutes, then you do not need Force. Instead, under Turn Off Lights Options, select "Turn Off even if partially off". This will cause Room Lighting to send the off command even if Room Lighting is already off.
Thanks to you, both. Unfortunately, no dice. Indeed the issue seems to be that the plug isn’t reporting state changes properly. However, even with the additional turn off option, it still didn’t turn off.
Here is the updated app (changed timing to trigger now) and new logs:
The new Ikea Grillplats plug was set up with Apple TV as the Thread Border Router and then added via Matter to Hubitat. On and off on Hubitat correctly trigger for the plug, but the switch state in Hubitat doesn’t update properly. Any ideas?
What platform version are you on?
2.5.0.108 (beta tester). Can upgrade to 122
I tried switching from the default driver “Generic Matter Multi-Endpoint Switch” to “Generic Matter Outlet” but that didn’t fix it. Then I issued Configure a couple times, watching logs the last time. Didn’t seeing anything meaningful there but it seemed to fix things. State of the plug is now updating reliably. Woohoo
