The garage light switch is making the light flash on and off as shown in the GIF. At the same time I can hear the sound of the relay (zwave switch) going on and off.
This has been stable for many months.
I noticed today that I stops flashing if I turn the switch off via the HA switch, but triggers back to flashing state once the PIR detects motion.
What am I missing here? No change is made to this Automation from when it all worked as expected.
This is the Automation
- alias: '[Lys] Garasjelys PÅ' ## Switch light on when PIR motion
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.pir_garasje
to: 'on'
action:
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.garasjelys
- alias: '[Lys] Garasjelys av etter bevegelse' ## Switch light off after PIR motion has stopped
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.pir_garasje
to: 'off'
for: '00:01:00'
action:
service: switch.turn_off
entity_id: switch.garasjelys
Are the PIR and light switch zwave devices?
If so they may have associated with each other, you’ll need to break that association to get it working correctly again.
Make sure for the light switch that only node 1 is associated with it. There may be multiple groups other than Lifeline listed. You’ll want to inspect them to find the association then select the PIR from the Node to Control and click Remove from Group
My issue is coming and going. It’s not flashing every time. For instance this morning the light turned on like it should, this afternoon it was flashing. Now, at night, it turned on like it should, regular, non-flashing. AND it has been working flawlessly in several months prior to the two last weeks.
I find no pattern to this😳
I had that happen with a zwave PIR and I could never break the Node Group Associations. No matter what I ended up doing it always came back. I eventually had to get rid of the PIR.
