I have a scene to turn on all my outside lights. I use a rule in the Rule Machine to trigger the scene at dusk. My first attempt was to trigger the lights in the rule itself. I did not have the greatest outcomes there, even when putting in short delays. I then read about putting a scene together and then triggering the scene. I did that, it was better, but still some lights stayed off. I noticed that the state of the lights was not always correct, so it didn't turn on lights it thought was on.
My latest rule polls all the lights and then activates the scene. At night another rule triggers the Outside Lights Off scene.
The first shot shows the log from the scene. You can see the scene logged on and off.
Note that after the Scene is logged on, I look at the Groups & Scene menu and see that both the Outside Lights on and Outside Lights off scene are "On"
If I click into the scene, it shows the Scene is in fact not set. Why does the menu before say it is on?
After I click the Activate Scene button, the lights come on.
Now the Groups & Scene menu shows the scenes correctly.
I have a C-8 Pro running 2.3.9.201
It is rarely working this week. I need to constantly manually trigger the scene.
I'd assume my issues are devices/network, but the fact the system shows both scene's "on" is making me think otherwise.
Any ideas?
