Night Light Not Working

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-22 12:23:51 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
Light turns on and off at various times.

2) What is the expected behavior?
Light turns on after motion and off after 2 min of no activity.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Light turns on sometimes with motion then never turns off until manually turned off.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)

The issue here comes from using a Trigger “changes” with a Wait in the piston.

Basically there are some special rules if you want to put those two things together.

There are several other methods of doing the same thing…take your pick of which one you want to use.

You could:
Add a Never cancel command to the “with” that turns off the light
OR
Change the Trigger to “is inactive” instead of "changes to inactive"
OR
Use the Trigger “stays inactive for 2 minutes” instead of changes
OR (yes, there are still more options…but that’s enough for now)

Essentially what happens is that an event is sent to the piston to tell it that your sensor has changed to Inactive. Then the piston waits for 2 minutes…and then when it executes again after the wait the motion sensor has no longer “changed” to inactive…it IS inactive. Thus “changes” and “waits” need some additional assistance to play well together.

Now, as for the light turning on…well, full logs might help understand what’s going on there. But that code looks fine.

Thank you @Mike1616. That was some very enlightening information. I’m learning a lot each time I build a piston so thanks again for the tutelage.

chickwebb · 2018-03-22 18:11:18 UTC

I think the misunderstanding arises out of the fact that, after the Wait(), the entire piston re-evaluates. If you’re just staring at the tasks, it looks like you Wait() and then you execute the next task. But, at least as far as I’ve been able to understand, that’s not what’s going on behind the curtain. Instead, the Wait() expires, and then the piston is run through again. And, in this case, at that time the sensor has no longer “changed”, but “is”, and so nothing happens.

Somebody who’s got this down better than I should correct me if I’m wrong, please. I don’t want to promulgate any fake news.

Mike1616 · 2018-03-22 21:04:15 UTC

Yep. That’s basically what’s going on. Take out the Wait and it works like you would expect…one line at a time…right after each other. But with a Wait in a piston if you look at the full logs you’ll see that the piston actually sets an event to rerun itself at the expiration time of the Wait.

chickwebb · 2018-03-22 21:52:27 UTC

Staring at the logs is how I’ve come to that understanding. It’s comforting to know that they’re not lying!

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-23 02:04:28 UTC

It’s still not working correctly.

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-23 02:07:45 UTC

Still not working correctly.

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-23 03:45:56 UTC

got it @chickwebb @Mike1616

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-24 03:01:27 UTC

I added new logs. What am I doing wrong. I tried everything. I took out the wait and it still didn’t work correctly.

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-24 03:01:56 UTC

Still not working.

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-24 20:50:27 UTC

Can you please look at this for me when you have some spare time? It’s kicking my butt. I seem to have tried everything and light will turn on and off, on regular basis. You will really save me with the wife factor because she is becoming quite irritated with the light turning on and not off in the middle of the night @Robin

Robin · 2018-03-24 21:04:53 UTC

I’m not entirely sure why your current piston example is not working properly… but as you keep changing the image and logs in post 1 it’s hard to tell if they match (I’m fairly sure they don’t as the logs refer to ‘changes’ but snapshot is using ‘is’).

Please don’t revise posts like that as it messes up the flow of the thread… instead post updated versions of pistons and logs further down the thread so the ‘story’ reads properly.

Best logic for motion light is:

IF motion sensor’s motion IS active
THEN
turn on light
ELSE
wait 2 minutes
turn off light

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-24 21:17:13 UTC

Thanks for explanation of how to update the thread as I am still a newbie and still learning the layout and law of the land. Thank you for your help. @Robin

C7pher · 2018-03-24 23:07:41 UTC

I had issues using between sunset and sunrise in my pistons. Edit this condition, show advanced settings and try setting subscription method to never. This way the lights won’t be triggered by time of day but only by the motion sensor. (best to set all conditions and triggers manually)

Also a better option would be to set time not between sunrise and sunset. The other way around could give problems after midnight when sunset is after sunrise.

antwanmarshall · 2018-03-27 21:44:32 UTC

It’s still executes only once and then refuses to turn off.

You’re throwing errors on the device itself… almost like it’s not reporting it’s state properly.

Can you build a piston as follows:

If RGB’s switch is on
THEN
log to console warn = ON
ELSE
log to console warn = OFF

Then toggle the bub in the ST app a few times and post your logs.

Ok. I thought so. I was reading on amazon about people having problems with the Fibaro Plus Motion Sensor. I’ll make the changes and report back.

Motion looks ok… It’s your light that is throwing up the errors.

I toggled it about 5 times but I don’t see it in the logs. And I did it from my favorites in the smartthings app.
