Ah, that makes sense. Is it only used if I set up presence in the app? I’m not using that part of your smartapp at the moment.
It will always be used. Just incase. I have mine set to 1 minute
First try for me. Works as smooth as a babies bottom.

No likey on this side… nothing happened at 3:35pm. 
You can see where I went back into the app to verify settings.

Literally works for everyone but you 
Not sure I can fix that lol
Try removing the app completely from everything including the smart app code and start from scratch?
I’m afraid if I open a ticket with support, they will just say to talk to you.
I agree, I think this may be account related. For example, I saw low battery warnings in the live log (one down to 25), but I did not get a notification in my iOS app even though I have that set to send push notifications. I assume I should have received one for 25%?
I would take a look at your other apps to see if they are conflicting by creating a different Mode for ST. I had Nest conflicting with some apps and removed the presence with that app to get some other apps working.

DO me a favor. Copy and past the exact code you have in your IDE. I want to do a dif look on it.
PM it though so no one uses it on accident
Not sure what would be conflicting. In home mode, these two lights are set to come on when motion is detected. However, will that conflict with this? Seems odd that it would. Maybe I’m not understanding this as well as I thought I was? (Always a possibility)

to test, setup one light that is not connected to anything else but this Vacation app (as far as triggers, automation, etc…) this will eliminate any conflicts than try again.

Except mode and presence detection are probably used by other apps…it can be hard to disentangle.
Version 2.0 is out!
- New GUI! All sorts of green indicators and the time value will not show without needing to go into the input field!
- Fixed timing logic. Should no longer require both values and should be able to cross over the 12AM mark

Tim, does it continue to send the off command after the time window is up, but while still in the correct mode?
Nice work!
Thanks,
Dave

Great I will try this in a bit. Also, I usually have this set to start running at 11pm, when my home goes to night mode, this app sends off commands to all my lights and they all turn off, is there any way to not have that happen? My whole house went dark multiple times last night before this was supposed to even start running.
It’s designed for when your away. But you could only connect a few of your lights to this app, that way only the lights connected would go out and then start to cycle.
I use it almost every week, but not when I’m at home. I think random lights coming on and off when I’m at home would drive me crazy!

I completely understand what this app is for. I look at it as a way to make the house always look occupied whether you are home or not. That way no one knows when you are not home from the outside. If you only have lights turning on and off when your not home, it’s pretty obvious your not home. I like things going in other parts of the house when I’m not home and when I am home (randomly). Personal choice I guess. I just dont want things to start turning off when it’s not even in the scheduled time to do so, and when they do start working I’m not in that part of the house anyway.
You’ll just need to select lights that you are ok with randomly turning off/on while you are home. There isn’t really a way around this.
Understand. But is there a way to not have all the lights turn off before the scheduled time to do so? Its triggering itself early.
