If the lamp was at one time selected in the rule, you might try to restore the rule to the point where the lamp is part of the rule, and then see if you can remove the rule when it’s been restored.
Hi all -
I accidentally removed the trigger from a conditional rule which made it become a rule. How do I add the trigger back to it? In previous versions of RM those options were always there.
Has anyone notice that sometimes when changing modes from within actions, they don’t take affect fully. The ST app will show I am in the new mode, but rules that use the new mode do not fire. Almost as if ST still thinks you are in the previous mode.
I have changed to using routines in actions for mode changes because of this.
For one of the rules, yes. I have night mode in codition and switching to Sleep mode in action. However, I have one rule to enable Home mode and there is no mode in the condition and the action sometimes does not switch to home correctly.
Here is the change to home mode rule for example. It fires every day. However, sometimes ST app will show me being in Home mode (notification shows same thing), but my other rule to control the light based on me being in home does not fire. If I run my routine to put me in Home mode, ST will state it switched me to Home mode and my RM light rule will now work.
I will try to get logs next time this happens.
FYI - I have just since changed the actions to use my routines instead of the mode action. That’s why routine is in the screenshot below.
OK, well testing this one is pointless since it doesn’t set a mode.
I hope you realize that there is contradiction somewhere, and it probably doesn’t have anything to do with Rule Machine. It is not possible for the mobile app to display Home mode, if a rule just changed the mode to Home from something else, and for that not to be the mode. So there is some other issue that hasn’t been revealed.
Bruce your killing me with these updates! Don’t get me wrong keep them coming I’m like a kid in the candy store, it’s just everytime you introduce a new option I have to tweek a lot of rules because you provided a better way of doing things. Lol Good job & as always Thank you I understand the amount of time required.
No am having an issue and maybe it is too complex for rule machine. I had to trash rule machine because the expert mode cause an authorization error that I can’t reproduce. However when I am reentering my rules I have been cleaning them up. And been trying this rule.
When the Door opens and closes it works beautifully, however when I turn my light on and the door close the light doesn’t turn off. If I refresh it, it still doesn’t turn off. What am I doing wrong.
Algebraically, your rule reduces to just Closet Open. The Closet On condition shouldn’t be doing anything, so I’m not sure why it is not working, but I’d start by removing that condition. Were you trying to do something more complex and got the logic wrong in the rule statement?
