Time based events failing?

Multiple failures in the last 15 hours, including good morning not running. :scream:

My housemate just went ballistic. He wants to go buy ā€œthat Harmony zigbee thingā€ (Harmony Hub Extender) and use that until there are enough HomeKit pieces available to meet our needs.

Most of our automations are very simple and timebased. Ironically the one piece we couldn’t replace yet is Echo voice control of Harmony.

(To be fair to SmartThings, there’s a lot that it can do that harmony extender cannot. The harmony is really just adding on/off capabilities for Z wave and Zigbee devices to their existing button remote paradigm. You can put things on timers, and you can trigger activities from sensors, but you can’t turn on a zigbee switch and have a zwave fan go on. And you can’t dim anything except Hue bulbs. And there’s no way to do any of the kind of ā€œmotion detector turns the light on unless the light is already on and somebody is homeā€ kind of logic. It’s just that that’s not what my housemate uses.)
