Lamp Socket Auto settings don't seem to work... lamp is always on

Thank you all for info sharing here. We are currently working on another quick fix for this.

Just want to open a quick survey here. May I know how many of your issued lampsockets are running rules like “turn on when detecting persons”. And have you set the schedule for that yet?

Thanks!

I have 2 lamp socket + v3 setup and this issue really only happens with my back yard setup. I suspect this is because there is more activity between our house and garage (we rarely use our front door). But I have noticed the front door lamp occasionally remain on.

Advanced settings for v3 cams are the same for both, with one exception. I use “Far” for my back yard Night Vision IR Lights and “Near” for my front door. Everything else is set to Record to SD Card, Continuous, Night Vision Mode: Auto and Dark for conditions.

The advanced settings for my lamp sockets are identical. Auto, Motion is detected in the dark is enabled. Timer is 1 minute.

No rules or schedules relating to the lamp socket, just the turn on when detects motion in the accessories > lamp socket page.

Hello everyone, I also have the same problem that the lamp socket won’t turn off after motion activated. Log # is 928351 thank you for looking into it!

It never worked for me neither… I finaly decided to make an automation like this and this is working!

It seems this issue is returning, I’m having it happen again

This worked for me too! Thanks for sharing, great idea :ok_hand:

Yes, more frequently for me too.
I have Auto & Detects Motion with 2 Lamp Sockets Sync’d to each other.

The secondary socket always loses its way & stays on all night until I turn on & off the light switch that powers both.

V3 and socket, having the same problem. Light occasionally turns on at night and never turns off even on auto, motion and 1 minute timer…

These lamp sockets are total crap, don’t buy
