2 lamps. The goal is that when the button of one lamp is pressed, the other one turns on/off as well. I use AppDaemon.
This works fine so far. The problem is in some circumstances the new_state reports wrong values.
The easiest way to reproduce this:
I toggle switch1 → switch2 turns on. Within 2 seconds I toggle switch2. In this case new_state.context.user_id is Not Null. But it should be Null.
But if i wait 5 seconds instead of 2, Everything works fine.
Is there a better way to detect a physical interaction? I understand that fast interaction is not a normal usecase, but either way it should not report wrong data.
Setup:
- switch1: [TuYa WHD02 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT]
- switch2: [TuYa TS0001_power control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT]
- Each mounted behind a physical toggle switch
- Each has a lamp attached to its relay
- Connected to HA via Zigbee2Mqtt
