I have tiles that don't show properly occasionally so I madr a rule to refresh those devices on a timer. It solved the issue ok. But now I needed to replace one of my bulbs so got a Sengled which installed as a Sengled Element Classic. Like the others it seems to have an issue.occasionaly, but when I went to add it to the rule in RM it does not show when I want a refresh event. But if I look at it in devices refresh is a option. I dont understand the drivers and stuff in the back end. Is this a problem that the driver was not done right for the refresh option to be available?
There are a few drivers where Hubitat implemented the "refresh" command but did not declare the "Refresh" capability (whose only purpose is to serve as a contract that the device implements this command). With at least one of those, which I don't think was this driver, staff said it was intentional, but I can't find that post anymore. Likely them wanting to discourage this use since the devices should report back on their own--and to that end, have you tried hitting "Configure" on the device page to see if that helps the device report back reliably?
If you really do want to do this, you should still be able to do it in RM. You'll just have to use a "custom command" instead of the built-in "Refresh" action. But true to the above, I'd verify that you really need to first--or if you might have a bigger Zigbee network problem (e.g., non-Sengled smart bulbs as repeaters coupled with non-bulb Zigbee devices?).
Yes, have got similar problems with Smart-things Power Outlet, it reports its wattage load nicely but will not go to 0 watts once the load stops, which is what I am needing. It reports all wattage changes during its load cycle but tends to report 0 watts around a couple of hours after it actually reached 0 watts. Tried RM Refresh but my Generic Zigbee Outlet doesn't appear in the list of selectable devices. All GitHub Apps Code I have come across have the same problem, not able to select the outlet? I can only think it is a code issue. Sorry, am not experienced enough to suggest solutions.
