I don’t know what happened, but now my bulb rules are all screwed up. They used to work great but when I run them most of the bulbs just turn off when they are supposed to still be on. Even the rule says turn bulb on. It’s almost like they aren’t in chronological order and receive a status before…

And I am a rookie here, but one developer to another or QA, do you think you should wait to run the next rule after the previous returns positive? Or even a time lapse.

So that looks like it’s trying to turn a device-group of lights off, and then turn a bunch of individual lights on. Is that right?

Correct. My rule turns off a group, which is basically all my bulbs, then is supposed to turn back on like 4 of the 15. Log says successful, but the bulbs do not come back on. Actually, a couple do and it is random which ones come back on each time. This used to work just fine for the past 7 mo…

Saw another post somewhere on the forum about a similar issue. As I recall it had something to do with the timing of the execution of various steps in the rule. Would you try a modified rule that excludes turning off the whole group as the first step and see if everything else works? You might ne…

Yeah, definitely there are workarounds. That’s what I am doing now. I can modify my rule. It’s almost like it changed from sync to async. Or a least waiting for one step to finish before executing the next. Thank you.

I’m having this issue and WildBill added a screenshot of my posting from a few weeks ago. I’ll try to ungroup my rules and see if that resolves the issue. I have two bulbs in my living room. One of them is supposed to turn on in the early morning at 5:30am and then off in the late morning at 10:00a…

Should be in chronological order based on the app. Shouldn’t matter if it is a group or not.
