Problem with Rules and Shell-Switch

---

I have a problem with executing a shell script with a button, which only should be executable if a shell-switch is turned on. If I turn the shell-switch on and then pressing the button, the shell-execution isn´t working. Sometimes the shell-switch is automatically turning off by pressing the button. The Rule works fine, if I remove the “if Lampe-Fenter is turned on”.

this is the rule:

 {
      "id": "dimmer-fenster-dimmen",
      "name": "Dimmer-Fenster-Dimmen",
      "rule": "if Lampe-Fenster is turned on and Lampe-Fenster-Dimmen button is pressed then execute \"/home/pi/scripts/dimmer-fenster-dimmen.sh\"",
      "active": true,
      "logging": false
    }

this is the button:

{
      "buttons": [
        {
          "id": "Lampe-Fenster-Dimmen",
          "text": "Dimmen"
        }
      ],
      "id": "Dimmer-Fenster",
      "name": "Lampe Fenster",
      "class": "ButtonsDevice"
    },

and this the shell-switch:

 {
      "id": "Lampe-Fenster",
      "name": "Lampe-Fenster",
      "class": "ShellSwitch",
      "onCommand": "/home/pi/scripts/dimmer-fenster-ein.sh",
      "offCommand": "/home/pi/scripts/dimmer-fenster-aus.sh"
    },

@Barny Your shell switch is missing the getStateCommand. See https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-shell-execute#shellswitch-device

Ah okay. What is exact function of this parameter? How should I use this? Do I need the interval?

Do I need the interval?

You only need to set interval if the status of the switch can be changed externally, which does not seem to be the case.

The getstatecommand hasn’t fix the problem. I have build some rules to set a variable to request the status. Also the state Variable isn’t working correct. Maybe a bug?

Most likely. I already have discovered an anomaly related to switch action, but need more time to investigate.
