Post by: Ste on January 25, 2016, 01:00:49 PM

Hello ,

I have a problem with the timetable .. I can set the intervals and associate devices but when it's time to turn on or off a device.. nothing happened :(

Yesterday evening I completely reloaded HG on my Raspberry PI 2 and installed the latest version 514.
I have the same problem.
I can schedule a turn on period, see the scheduler go on but no light turns on.
I have the same problem with the Scheduled ON/OFF program so  I'm quite sure I'm missing something stupid :o

Hi,
Perhaps a stupid question, but can you turn on and off with HomeGenie ?
Bye

Perhaps the problem is related to the automation program 93 (zwave multi instance virtual modules) that always sends a Switch.Binary on/off command  even if the node only support Switch.MultiLevel (e.g.. is a dimmer).
As a verification of that you can try to schedule a 50% level to see if it works.
If this is the case, the program 93 can be improved by make it check command class supported by the node in order to send the proper Binary or MultiLevel on/off command.

The problem is in the automation program 93.
I always used HG from the widgets and I never tried to get modules work with the commands.
I made a workaround on the scheduling programs but as soon as possibile I'll try to modify the automation program 93 as suggested by Gene.
I'll ask your help ;)

Thank you very much!

Hi Gene,

I tried to modifiy the automation program 93 but I found the problem is simply that the commands module.On() and module.Off() don't work for me... :)

For turn on a ZWave module I need to replace the command

module.On()

with

module.Command("MultiInstance.Set").Set("Switch.Binary/" + zinstance + "/1")

 :o

Thank you for you help  :)

I have some Qubino dimmers (they have 3 input channels, 1 dimmer and 2 other) and I have the same issue (I think). I created widgets for the first channel (the dimmer), and I can turn them on/off/dimm but if I set a timetable, it does not work.

I also created a sunset script, and I can see the script fires and if I get the name from the module I get name given to the widget but on/off/level does not work.

If I use Ste's trick it works, but I have to set the feature on the top level not the instance.

Shouldn't the instance work just like a regular module? The widget works so whats different?
