Lock door after 15 minutes of door being closed

peterclark · May 31, 2021, 11:24pm

Hello

I have a very simple workflow that:

checks if door has been closed and waits for 15 minutes
checks that door is unlocked
locks door

for some reason it is very inconsistent and I cannot figure out why. I just wanted to check that the below workflow are the expected nodes. I like to make sure that the door is closed as well as the lock is unlocked because I do not want the door to try adn lock while the door is open.

This one does the same but also turns on the lights when the door opens or if there’s motion on the cameras.

The flow seems fine, I have never used a lock though.

I would try removing the current state node. If the error still persists, I would try moving the automation to YAML. If the issue persists, I’d say the problem is in the lock itself.
