[pimatic-hue-zll] restoring state does not always work

---

Hi,
thanks for the great hue plugin. I currently have one small problem.

I use this rule to turn the lights red if someone rings my doorbell

if Türklingel is closed for 100ms set color of Indirekt Wohnzimmer 1 to hue 0 sat 100 for 10 seconds and set color of Indirekt Wohnzimmer 2 to hue 0 sat 100 for 10 seconds

most of the time this works fine but sometimes the light stays red and doesn’t turn of again. there seems to be some problem with returning to the original state.

What logs would you need to take a look at this?

thx

Hi!

@thex: It’s easiest to debug if you enable debug logging in Pimatic, and report the logs including what happened in the minute before and the minute after the rule event.

You can enable the logs by putting

    "debug": true,
    "logLevel": "debug",

in your config.json file, section settings.

pimatic-hue-zll will then also show the “state” of all lights as it polls them every few seconds and what state changes it’s sending, so that may help to figure out what’s going wrong.

Thanks!
