1) Give a description of the problem
This piston is intended to turn on a light with motion, then turn it off, after a Wait, if it had become inactive. Also, if the switch was manually turned on prevent it from being turned off after the motion becomes inactive (i.e. the switch overrides the motion control).
2) What is the expected behaviour?
The top two IF statements supervise the motion. The last two set or clear a flag based on the physical interaction with the wall switch. This flag is to lock out the turning off when the motion becomes inactive.
3) What is happening/not happening?
The logic of the motion and the logic of setting and clearing the flag work correctly when tested independently. However, when together two things happen that I can’t explain:
-1- the flag when set TRUE is evaluated as FALSE. This causes the light to turn off with motion=inactive. There is no other SetVariable instruction in the trace data to have changed it.
-2- the turning off the light triggers an IF clause that is constructed with: “switch physically changes to off”. This should only react to a physical change to the light switch and not a programmatic change - correct?
I have annotated the trace data for the areas noted above.
Thanks in advance.
4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
