Created a post for it: Watchdog SmartApp for Sunrise/Sunset mode changes

thanks I will take a look but not what I need. I have no mode changes on sunrise sunset only lights coming on and setting dimming levels in two different locations. I will look at the code and see if there is something I can use. But I already set up a back rule that turns them on also later than any sunset based on time…

I was hoping you had written something that actually goes through the scheduled processes in the ide and alerts you if something is wrong.

The following is an old topic, but you may find something more like what you’re looking for there. If not, some of the people there can probably help.

Scheduler and Polling quits after some minutes, hours, or days

I have a SmartApp that brightens lights in a zone when there is motion or a door opens. It dims the lights after a given timeout period. I have 6 instances of the app on one hub, (6 different lighting zones), and 8 on another hub, in another building. When the app initializes, it starts the scheduler to run a scheduleCheck() function every minute, to turn off lights, when appropriate. It was working for months. Then it stopped dimming reliably. I have determined that the scheduleCheck() function stops running as scheduled. I have also noticed that it now usually schedules at the top of the minute, i.e., the seconds are zero. This did not used to be the case. And the time between scheduled calls can be 1, 2, or 3 minutes. I have just installed a workaround, in which I re-initializ…
