Hubitat Elevation® Platform Version 2.2.6.129
Hardware Version Rev C-5
Inovelli 2-Channel Outdoor Smart Plug NZW97

The NZW97 does not respond to rules created in Simple Automation Rule 1.1. It has two channels: CH1 and CH2. I changed an existing (pre-1.1) rule to turn off Child CH1. I created a new 1.1 rule to turn off Child CH2. They are both set to turn off at specified times SUN-THU. The pre-1.1 rule works correctly, the 1.1 rule never turns off the light on CH2.
I then wrote a new 1.1 rule to turn off CH1 at a specified time and it does not execute.

I can turn on/off CH1 and CH2 manually in the HE Devices panel.

Summary:
Pre-1.1 rule turns off CH1 as expected
1.1 rule does not turn off CH1
1.1 rule does not turn off CH2

I safely shut down the HE, unplugged the electrical and waited 5 minutes. Powered up the hub and then ran Z-Wave Repair. Waited for the specified time to pass for the rules and the 1.1 rules never execute. I have turned on the Enable Logging item in the respective app.

This is the log for CH2. The 1.1 rules were set to go at 21:00 (CH1) and 21:10 (CH2)

The 1.1 rule does not turn off the lights. However, I can run the app manually which does turn them off. The 1.0 rule works corrrectly.

Any help or insight is appreciated.

There have been bug fixes in Simple Automation Rule 1.1, and you should update to 2.2.7. Also, can't tell anything about what's going on without you showing the rule.

Bruce,
Thanks for the reply. I will update to 2.2.7.
How do I copy the rule in order to post it here? (Just use SnagIt or is there a Hubitat method?)

Try turning off 'Enable on/off optimization'. Also, check the Scheduled Jobs section of the App Status page (gear icon). It should have a job scheduled for 21:10.

I turned off the optimization. Below is the screenshot of scheduled jobs.

I have created a copy of the Turn Off...Sun-Thu to test tonight (Saturday). I will report back here.
Thanks again, Bruce. I appreciate the assistance.

@bravenel,
Everything is working perfectly! Your advice to turn off "Enable on/off Optimization" appears to be the fix. I've been running test scripts for the last two nights and it is all working properly.
Thank you very much for your guidance.
