'Brithgen when open' app seems to craash wemo bulbs

Hi all
Just after a code review if possible.

I wrote an app when I got my smart things device and its job was simple…

  1. On door open, brighten up the dim value a light
  2. On door close, lower the dim value of the light
  3. When somebody returns, brighten up the dim value of a light

The dim values were hard set and has worked reliably for a long time. It would only change the values if the light was on.

I decided to expand upon the original code because I had a set of lights which only 1 would be on (out of 6) but in the event of a door opening, it would brighten the lot up and then return to the original settings, assuming one of the lights in the group was already on, and then off/dim to the original status on close, I wanted to be as flexible as possible so I could rotate which bulk head light was on to even the ‘wear’ on the bulbs. Also, I can use the below to group bulbs together that are at different low dim values in 1 smartapp rather than multiple ones.

So the below update is the outcome.

It seems to work, and I think I have captured most of the bugs over time, however when I swap out the old app for this one, it seems to increase the likelihood of my wemo bulbs to crash. I am not quite sure why, only thing I can think of is I am requesting more refreshes of the bulbs to update the app, and to ensure that the data I am storing between door opening and closing is up to date.

I am also not sure if the problem could be down to a firmware issue of the wemo bulbs. I have recently spent some time resetting, updating via a wemo hub and re-adding back to smart things, but have not re-tried the below script yet.

Any pointers?

Thanks

when the light is off it does not turn on and then bring to the brightness i want. it won’t turn on at all. otherwise it works really great. I am hoping you will be able to fix as this app is awesome.
