I changed the rule to just turn on the lights and not call the piston. The lux setting in the rule is 30 and the lights went on. I do realize that I could set this all up in room manager but there are other things that I want to add once I get this actually working. Just working on the basics right now.


#284

Do you mean the Contact Book from webCore? I did set it up but I donā€™t have any PUSH setup.


#285

I have saved the room and tried to re-edit it, did not work.

I do have the contact book enabled.


#286

ahh, i think we may have found a hint to the issue. illuminance is being reported as a percentage instead of a lux value. which is strange. let me look at their DTH a bit.

ok.


#287

strange and still no errors in the ST ide live logs is there?


#288

actually, which DTH are you using for the zooz sensor?

is it this one?

if yes could you please change the settings to report illuminance in lux and see if that makes a difference?

thanks.

#290

could you please update to the latest and check if that makes a difference.


#291

speaker support is here. :smiley:


#292

updated to the latest. still no change.

when i hit retry on the ā€œsomethings wrong pageā€ I see this in the log, but no error.


#293

ok. if i add some debug statements and give you the code just for the child app will you be able to give this code a try by saving it from the IDE directly without going thru the repo?

EDIT: on the rooms screen which of these 2 messages does it show against the AUTO LEVEL ā€˜ALā€™ settings?

  1. ā€œTap to change existing settingsā€
  2. ā€œTap to configureā€

#294

yup. I can add the code manually.

However, I did just get it to work sort of. I created a test room, went to AL settings, it did not load. I then made up a rule, selected AL setting for the light. then went back to AL Settings, it still didnā€™t load, but hitting reload there did reload to the AL settings. Is loading that page dependent on a rule or setting set on the rule page?

I understand that using the AL settings in general is dependent on a rule, but it should still load right?


#295

correct. thats why its so strange.

before modifying the code could you please:

  1. go back to the test room and try the AL settings ā€¦ does it load on first try or does it still require multiple reloads?
  2. create a new room and save it. then go back to the room and click AL settings and try hitting reload a few times and see if you can get it to load? this time dont create any rules.

#296

@pcgirl65 this new version has notification support for arrival and departures. its in the settings for the rooms manager :slight_smile:


#297
  1. Room with a rule using AL settings, does not require a reload. If I make the room, add a rule and wait a set, AL settings loads right away (no need for pressing reload). Verbiage does change to ā€œTap to change existing settingsā€ once the rule is made.

  2. New Room created without a rule, verbiage is ā€œTap to configureā€ does not load with multiple reload attempts.


#298

on this new room can you please create a rule that does NOT use AL then go to AL and see if it loads please?


#299

in a new blank test room, with a single rule, without AL selected, the settings will not load.


#300

please change the rule to select ā€˜ALā€™ and then try AL settings


#301

That works, the AL settings loads when the rule contains ā€˜ALā€™


#302

now if you change the rule level back to not AL does it still load?
