Bathroom Fan/Light piston with delays and light intensity settings


#9

I can’t see your 7 minute problem in the trace… getting 10 minutes and 45 minutes correctly.

I did however see an issue with the set level followed by off command though, wasn’t working in my virtual environment.

Also, I didn’t realise you wanted the lights to return to 75% when opening the shower door… seems like an odd time to do that safety wise.

Anyway… try this:

Robin, still no go, now the light just blinks instead of dimming to full or back to 75.
Timer is 7 instead of 10 and the other 42 instead of 45, we must have some gremlins in the house :slight_smile:
Already verified there is no other apps or core pistons controlling this light and fan.


#11

No idea what’s going on there… thoroughly tested on my end and works perfectly.

Maybe rebuild the data cache in WC app settings (in the ST app)


#12

Thanks, will try that


#13

I guess it’s always possible the light you are using doesn’t like the ‘If already on’ part… cant imagine why though??

Try this:


#14

Will try, in meantime after your last advice timers are counting properly, but lights are still confused. Sorry to bother you like that, but I appreciate your time helping me very much !


#15

Well, timers are back to 7 and 42 (I know how to fix that now ) On initial door closing light goes to 100% but when the door opens it just blinks once but it will stay that way.
Not complaining, just reporting back :slightly_smiling_face:


#16

What device is the light?

What device handler are you using?

Can you test it with a different light type?


#17

It’s regular very common GE dimmer 12724, I can try tomorrow with Linear dimmer if it makes any difference. Will report back.
Thanks


#18

There’s something wrong with the handler you are using… it’s telling webCoRE that it’s a ‘white bulb’ instead of a dimmer.


#19

Strange, I have about 20 of them all over the house and they all work fine using ST apps and in CoRe. They were all properly IDd when first installed using the ST.
Just checked in the IDE and it’s correct handler
Name
GE In-Wall Smart Dimmer
manufacturer: Jasco Products

Reached 13 replies limit for newbie so I’ll add it here

Yeah, just tested quickly with same GE dimmer using this simple webCoRe script and it’s working fine.


#20

can you post logs of the problem piston


#21

Will do Robin, when I get home ( I hope I can figure out how :slight_smile: )
Also tried to swich the dimmer to the Linear, same problem and it got IDd as White bulb with number at the end as well (587S)

Thanks


#22

I saved the log to txt file as Unicode, I hope that’s the proper way to do it (Full logging)
Turned ON the Bath Light
Closed shower doors
waited
Opened shower doors
waited
Closed doors again
waited
Opened
and turned off the light and fan manually

Hmmm, looks like txt file is not allowed, so I will leave Google drive link

#23

Logs look like it’s working fine.

Try putting the % values strait into the commands instead of referencing the values in the varaibales (75 & 100)


#24

Unbelievable Robin, that did the trick!
Thanks for your patience with me :slight_smile:


#25

Actually, 75 and 100 were already directly referenced… it was the times (10 and 45) in the variables… so what did you change?


#26

Changed the 75% value to 65%, it makes tremendous intensity difference, I presume that my LED bulbs do not respond linearly with the dimmer setting, so that blink indicated change but nothing visible actually happened.


#27

if you want 75% of the brightness then youll probanly want closer to 40-50% of the dimmer, and if you put a dth on the switches (its highly recommended), GE/Jasco Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Switch by nuttytree does work for the ge non non zwave plus, but if you dont set the steps and delay right the dimming part is aweful, i think i have mine at steps of 2 and 1.5 second total. it also will give you the double tap up or down as buttons for webcore


#28

Hi, I tried that in the past but id doesn’t work on my GE 12724 dimmers, must be different FW version
