I am trying to use 6 switches in my shed (one by each entry door) to control one light. Only one switch is connected to the light. The other switches just have power going to them. I have tried creating routine for each switch that would put the light and other switches in the on state when switch is turned on and another routine that would put light and other switches in the off state when switch is turned off.
The problem I’m having is the light will just keep turning on and off on its own. I’m thinking there may be a switch that’s lagging a bit and causing the issue
Maybe I am over complicating this and there is an easier way to do this! Looking for help!! Thanks in advance.
You need a pre-condition state check in addition to a trigger to keep from ping ponging.
If Main Switch is off (pre-condition)
Sub Switch 1 turns on
then turn on Main Switch
and
If Main Switch is on (pre-condition)
Sub Switch 1 turns off
then turn off Main Switch
I’m not sure you can do this without Routines for every permutation to insure that you avoid the ping pong.
Also, if the driver you are using supports editing Association Groups, you might consider trying those and avoid Routines all together. Using Association Group 2, you could mirror a switch’s state to all the other 5.
