Help with Laundry Power Meter and Piston State

piston_state
power
#1

I am trying to create a Laundry Monitor Piston.
I have it set to the same values I had been using with an old Smart App.
When power rises above 30W set the piston state to true.
When power changes to 0W and piston state is true set the state to false and notify me.
Only thing I get in the logs is
“Piston waited at a semaphore” - What does this mean?

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

  1. its a warning, so not a functional issue necessarily
  2. in the piston settings disable automatic piston state since you manually are setting piston state
  3. if you remove the log info statements, the warning may either no longer show or show less frequently

Thanks. I will give that a try.
