I live in an old home with aluminum siding, and a metal roof. It’s practically a faraday cage. Some cell phones barely work in here.
Other than ST, wifi, cell phones and tv, we have relatively few electronics. If it’s one of those, then ST must be poorly designed, because I’d dare say that most homes today will have at least some combination of those things.
I ran an additional ethernet cable to keep my hub away from all of those. I’ve seen no improvement.
If you want to suggest a bandwidth that will interfere with ST, I’d be glad to drag out my old oscilloscope and check for any stray signals.
I must say. All my lights came on when they were supposed too (motion not time) my garage opened when I came home from dropping off the kids and it didnt trigger the alarm. So far so good for me
SHM didnt disarm this morning for me, resulting in an alert every time we let the dogs in or out, went into garage, etc. As I was pulling into work this morning, I receive 2 separate motion detected “intrusion events” on 2 separate floors in my home. This prompted my wife to immediately text me to see if I was playing hooky from work today.
YMMV. It was a general comment for folks reading related to presence sensors. Every home is different, but the comment about what worked for me may work for others that are new or have not considered it.
Many of us believe that the application state corruption that is affecting Rule Machine is also affecting SHM (both RM and SHM use state variables extensively). The fix to the application state corruption is due to roll out today.
They are pushing the BIG(er) update soon (today, according to trustworthy posters) that will address more SHM bugs…Also confirmed in yesterday’s announcement
This is the first day this has happened though. Id think with all the issues the platform has had in the recent days/month, it would have been a recurring thing.
Just bringing it to light because of its recent behavior.
I don’t know what happen, but I lost the state of my mode this morning (Home was executed, but a couple of hours later the mode was in Night), and two different located aeon contact sensors… Nice…
So I’ve noticed about two days ago how they changed the loading on the SHM - the dashboard is actually a web browser that loads a web page. They’ve changed bits and pieces there, including a blue circle that rotates during load. Then the “intrusion alerts” popup stopped working, then yesterday afternoon it started working again, but full screen (it used to have a little border around before where you could still see the dashboard). Then this morning it stopped working again, I can’t dismiss a false alarm from a motion sensor - can’t see that alert.
And this morning, for the second day in a row, my hub was offline. Rebooted it and it started working just fine, but if it lost connection during the night, it definitely did not come back up on its own…
I find after big updates that an occasional device or mode will be out of sync. It’s always a one time issue for me and happened last night. All was fine this am.
