Routines and scenes very unreliable

[jkp]

@djsat2

(I only just noticed that the terminology of “scene” is now gone from the app and everything is classed a routine…it looks like my previous scenes have all be converted to routines.)

ST made the recent change with their latest app release:

• Scenes are now called “Manually Run Routines”
• Routine are now called “Automatic Routines”

@djsat2

I’m finding a lot of these routines (which are just turning on lights 8-10 and setting colour and brightness) are very flakey, they often only execute a random selection of the instructions and i have to go and manually run again.

There is a current thread on issues with Routines: Automatic routines not working as of yesterday (17 Sept 2023)

For myself, I had a couple that stopped functioning properly in mid September… the actions for all devices in the Routine would not occur. I found, deleting the Routine and recreating it solved that issue for me. Editing and saving the Routine did not work… only deleting the Routine and recreating.

But read through the thread I linked to above… there may be helpful information for you.
