This one unlocks both doors and opens the main garage door if the button is double pressed.

Someone advised to use queue mode as this one has been having some issues.

and lastly, this one controls the lights.
The camera triggers didn't seem to work so lets not worry about them... I'll have to figure them out separately.

I'll come back to you tomorrow.
2.5 hours livestream just ended.
ME = DEAD 😄

rancid rose Jan 18, 2024, 1:00 AM

Lol, yeah np.

robust steeple Jan 18, 2024, 2:56 PM

Interesting your automations look clean
I mean ... We could change them a bit to be device centric but they seem clean enought already 🤔

Can you explain me on this one why you unlock doors (The action) when .. doors are unlocked (The triggers)?
They are not the same doors?

yeah, so it's the same doors. The idea is during the day, if I'm home. If someone unlocks one of the doors by hand, it unlocks the other door.

#

We have a walk way between the back door and the garage and pretty much, any time you go out the back door, you are going to the garage.

robust steeple Jan 19, 2024, 8:46 AM

I reworked a bit your automation but I am not really sure it's going to help.
I spend a bit of time looking at them and see no issues of conflicts :/

This is what I was telling you by device centric automation.

HEre are 3 automation that (hopefully 😬 - I did everything by hand - please review before calling it a day) that are doing the same thing.

The only diff is how the logic is splitted.

One (And only one) controls the Lights : This one a copy paste of yours as it was already the case
One (and only one) controls the garage door
ONe (and only one) controls the locks

But as I said...
I am not confident it's going to solve your issues, your automations seems clean.

You ahve nothing on the logs when you see lights or locks mis behaving?

rancid rose Jan 19, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

Thanks, I'll take a look today.

So not really seeing anything with the logs, it's just the device is not responding. In the trace I'm getting the “Stopped because only a single execution is allowed” error.

#

However, I'm getting that error even when nothing else has been triggered.

robust steeple Jan 19, 2024, 3:49 PM

#

Yeah that's more a warning -
It's just one of the executing mode of an automation
We have 4

#

Single (the default) means that if a second trigger comes while a esquence of action is already running : It;s going to be ignored (But the first sequence of action will continue)
Restart stops the current sequecne of action and restart (That's why you have restart on the light... it's a good idea, your ligths will be on for 30 minutes after the last trigger... if during these 30 minute one of your camera detects something, or if the doorbell rings, it's another 30 minutes added)
queued queues the different sequences of actions, usefull sometimes
parallel runs the sequence of actions in parallel

rancid rose Jan 21, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

Finally had time to set everything up. So far so good. Ill let you know if I have any other issues

robust steeple Jan 22, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

OH great! With my automations you mean?

rancid rose Jan 27, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

yeah. And it did kinda help. But I did also find out that the lock company broke the firmware and it's been removed from Works with HA. SOOOOOOO not really an automation problem. :/
