Piston to raise shade working when it is not supposed to

#1

1) Give a description of the problem

I have a virtual switch (“Vacation switch”) that puts ST into “Vacation mode”. Several pistons run during vacation mode to replicate lighting and movement of shades. I have tested the virtual switch and it is changing the mode as designed. All of the pistons for lighting work as advertised. The piston to raise the shade runs regardless of the mode.

2) What is the expected behavior?

Shade should automatically raise only when Vacation switch is on (i.e. in Vacation mode).

3) What is happening/not happening?

The piston is running in any mode.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!

your timer should go first
