UPDATE: At least one problem is back (if I should put this elsewhere, in a completely new thread, or whatever, please just let me know, and I would be happy to move it)…
I have a SmartApp that monitors garage temps and kicks on an exhaust fan if the outside temp is x-degrees lower than the temp in the garage. Well, after ST got some major problems taken care of following the Big Upgrade recently, it’s been working just fine. However, it has gone back to a broken state now in the past couple days.
First off, this Garage Cooling system actually has three different SmartApps involved.
Here they are…
-
Garage Vent Fans by bravenel (here)
This is the main thing. It monitors outside temp (provided by #2 below) and the temp inside the garage, and turns on the exhaust fan if the temp is lower outside. -
SmartWeather Station Tile by SmartThings I think (here)
This app is connected to Weather Underground, and monitors the specific PWS of my choice (eventually, I’ll have my own, but for now, I’m tracking another one in my area). It is also used by a number of other SmartApps in my home, like the Weather Alert app, etc. -
SmartWeather Station Controller by SmartThings w/bugfix by RBoy (here)
Bruce helped me configure a way of temporarily disabling my garage fans app (#1 above) using a Mode restriction. That was working (or so I assumed) along with everything else for over a week, but now it’s not (i.e. I change the Mode/s for this SmartApp to only have the new ‘disabled’ Mode selected, but it still keeps working; no way to disable it without uninstalling it or physically disconnecting the Smart devices it is interacting with).
Beyond that, the ‘SmartWeather Station Tile’ SmartApp (#2 above) - which is where my Garage Vents app gets the outside temp from - is no longer refreshing, and the add-on SmartApp that is supposed to force it to refresh every 5 minutes (#3 above) is no longer doing its job.
I’m not even sure where to look or what might be needed here.
help?
