That’s a very strange error to get. And I’m getting it also. This is brand new behavior that I haven’t seen before. Something has happened in the backend. I have some triggers from Minimote buttons that worked fine yesterday, but are now throwing the same error.
I will have to investigate further. I have another Minimote app that is working, so I’ll dig into what’s going on.
I will post back here when I discover the cause of this.
I have a bunch of the Keen smart vents and a nest thermostat. I have them set to adjust how open they are based on room temp. what I would like to be able to do is close when the blower fan for the HVAC is off. There is no option for the thermostat features directly in the rule machine . think it can be done?
IF Trigger Vent1 Temperature < 95 THEN Set Vent1 to 0%
where the 95-degrees was taken by observing the vent temperature in the IDE, and how it cools down when the furnace rests between heating episodes. This particular vent dropped down to as low as 85 - I picked 95 for it and might tweak it after observation.
kind of what I have. I have 98% if temp is under vent set point and once it hits point it goes to 20%. I dont want to close them all the way if the fan is blowing because the back pressure can cause issues with the HVAC unit when cooling or heating but I want 0% when the blower is off so that no or minimal heat/cooling leakage happens.
I don’t know if updating to the latest rule machine or SmartThings restored old data to the back end, but yesterday I swapped the location of two motion sensors (a first generation and a second generation). Both sensors had rules so I had to go in and change several rules to make everything work as it did. The change was made and everything was working correctly for the remainder of the day and throughout most of today. About 3-4 hours ago I notice things were not working correctly so I went back into rule machine and found a portion of the rule had revered back to the old setting. I have since corrected this but I am baffled as to how that could happen. Could upgrading rule machine cause this type of problem?
If I am following, if someone continues to never publish Rule, we can keep on as we have, but for simplicity sake, one can save/publish and not affect anything, but it’s not required to keep Rule Machine working, Right?
I’m having some issues today as well where some of my rules didnt work and when I go into the rule everything looks okay but when i click the define a rule everything is blank or on some rules where I had more conditions then removed them they are showing up now if I click define a rule. I’m assuming something happened overnight with ST because I’m also having issues with some of my devices not working correctly.
The only thing is, if you publish it and aren’t fully aware that you did, like out of habit if you’re working on some app, then after that you always have to publish. So if you miss doing it, you may not be updating after that without being aware of it.
