1) Give a description of the problem
Asynchronous execution disrupts a loop.
2) What is the expected behaviour?
When my front door is opened, store some settings in some lists about the states of Entryway_Lights, then set them to a state matching my living room (average of LightsToMatch).
When the door is closed, wait for a short period (“CloseDelay” seconds) then fade the lights to their previous state over “CloseDuration” seconds
3) What is happening/not happening?
When the delay prior to the loop (“CloseDelay”) is set to 0, the piston executes as I want. However, if I set “CloseDelay” to another number (such as 5), it will only execute one pass of the loop (the first light in the device list) and then seem to halt the piston altogether (not even logging that last i value to the console).
I’m using different methods to set the state here because any single one of them doesn’t cover all that I need: There’s not a single place I can control the fade, the color, and the color temp, so I need to use different methods based on what settings are being restored to the lights.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
