Minimote doesn't respond to first button press

[jsulliweb (Sully)]

You’re most likely using it with the SmartLighting SmartApp. It’s an issue with the way the app deals with the status of the lights. When you have to do an extra press it’s because something else, other than the minimote put whatever it is into a different state than the SmartApp did last.

Smart Lighting and Minimotes: first press fails

I have put in a similar ticket. I believe what is happening is that the Smart Lighting app is tracking the status of the light within its own context. So each child instance of the smart lighting app would work if it was the only input to the light. If you use another minimote to change the state of the light then the first minimote is out of sync and can take some clicks to catch up. You don’t even have to use a second minimote to cause the problem you can do it by turning the light on with a routine and then it will take more button clicks to get to turn off with the minimote. Once I realized this is what was happening the behavior of my minimotes was at least explainable. Hopefully an update to Smart Lighting will be updated to fix this behavior.

Hope that helps!
