@Mohlsson , thanks for the app. I’ve installed it according to your instructions and set up the yaml file, but AppDemon is reporting a compile error - any idea what might have gone wrong?

The error log in AppDemon shows:

This error is because changes to enable MariaDB requires PyMySQL to be installed even though it is not used. Even if you are not using MariaDB, try installing it as noted in the last paragraph in the readme.

Bingo, thanks missed that.

One more question, I have lights in groups, do I need to exclude the groups or individual lights or is ok for both to be active?

24

I have my lights in groups but my light switches operate on individual lights, I really haven’t tried group actions. I guess light activity is stored separately per light in the database so the light activity when replaying should be triggered per light. Give it a try and if it doesn’t work it may be possible to do some changes.

Oh I forgot, to see what actions has been scheduled check the Supervisor/AppDaemon/Log. All scheduled actions will be shown there even if they are not triggered.

26

OK, thanks that’s great. For now I’ve excluded the groups and looking at the log it looks like that will work.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the work on this. Any chance could be modified for include as opposed to exclude? Would be nice to just put lights in a group and config app to use that group as opposed to excluding every switch not desired. Especially helpful when you add new switches and all of a sudden they are going off and on unintentionally.
