@home rule bug?

---

I have a rule like this:

if iphone is absent and pir is absent for 15 minutes then execute "curl admin:password@localhost/api/device/thuis/changeContactTo?contact=true >/dev/null 2>&1"

So when my phone is not pingable and the pir is absent for 15 minutes it sets the dummy contact to closed (no one home). But sometimes is randomly changes to open and to close again. like this evening:

19:53:15 home closed
19:53:15 home opened

very strange, and my phone was not absent at that time. and the pir was already absent for more than 15 minutes.

@sweebee
hmm … would it matter to put the pir term into square brackets like this
if iphone is absent and [pir is absent for 15 minutes] ... ?

Are you sure your iPhone was pingable? Because my experience is that iOS devices lose WiFi all the time in sleep or even in active mode. If it switches between 2,4 and 5 GHz for instance.

The iphone are not pingabkle every time. If you let this on the table after some minutes iphone go in standby and switch wifi off. Use the location service to discover iphone present or not.

I have set a time out of 15 minutes on the ping.

and with hping im waking the phones every 5 minutes.

this should say enough?
