I updated my pilight software to version 8 this week (by accident). It ‘broke’ my livingroom light toggle.
I’ve configured three switches on the pilight (2 clarus switched, 1 klikaanklikuit).
From the Lovelace ui I can switch all three on and off without errors. I’ve setup a card on which all three are available with the console and the group toggle on.
When I press the individual switches it works, but when using the group toggle the clarus switches will not toggle and the klikaanklikuit does toggle.
This also goes for the automation I set up to turn on/off the switches.
I’ve already checked the logging, but I can’t seem to find any errors there.
Where do I continue to figure out what is going wrong? Did I miss a remark about needing to reconfigure something?
I hope anybody can help me out here.
Kind Regards,
Wessel
PS. I’m running HA 0.91.3 (latest on 20190411) and pilight 8.1.4
After a weekend of trial and error I found out that pilight 8.1.4 isn’t handling multiple commands for the same protocol at the same time very well.
I solved it by creating a command line containing both commands separate by a semi-colon and a sleep 1 before the second command. This way I can use a ‘combined’ switch within the automation and groups and separate switches in the UI and one using the group.
Hope this helps somebody in the future.
Thanks is missed that one indeed. Since I was searching from a different angle. My current solution provides a little bit more stability. Somehow my pilight service ‘crashes’ every now and then and I need to restart home assistant to get the switches working again. With the command line solution it keeps working.
I will look into the delay option just to be able to remove some ‘unnecessary’ coding.
