[Solved] switching by rule or manual

---

I could really need some help with the following issue:
I have this rule:
[code]
“if achter_deurcontact is opened and it is after $Zonsondergang.time then switch buitenlamp on for 5 minutes”,
[/code]
So basiclly when i open my backdoor, the light in the garden should switch on.

But when i open the backdoor i can see the switch in the Pimatic GUI being toggled to “on”, but the light in the garden will not…
When i manually toggle the switch in the Pimatic GUI, the garden light does go on. it does so every time i manually toggle the switch with no exclusion.

So my question is is there a difference between switching by rule or switching manually?

@mr.smith
Could you please post both rules

There should be no difference. However if the rule triggers other things (rf commands) you could get rf collisions. You then could try to add a delay for one of the rules “turn x on after 5 seconds”…

Thank you both for your response!

That did the trick!
Come to think of it it was very obvious. The backdoor has a Kaku door switch, which produces a lot of RF traffic when you open the door.
In the mean time the rule was activated by piratic causing the RF collisions.
Problem solved!
