PLEG has been running great for us for a long time with tons of simple and complex conditions and everything in between. Everything is managed beautifully through PLEG. However, I’ve always had this small puzzling problem which I could never fix. Hopefully someone here can help shed some light?
Here’s the behavior
Close the door - Lock the Schlage bolt
Here’s the setup:
Trigger - GarageExtDoorTripped (Door Sensor Garage Exterior is opened)
Conditions - cLockGarageExtDoor: !GarageExtDoorTripped
Actions - cLockGarageExtDoor: Lock the bolt
As mentioned above, it’s all really simple, but 19 of 20 times, the lock never activates. I’m certain everything is setup properly since the status report shows the condition firing and testing the action with “Do it now” works as well (not to mention it works, just rarely).
If i change the conditions to the following, the lock will close consistently:
Conditions - cLockGarageExtDoor: !GarageExtDoorTripped; NOW > 0:01
However, I prefer to avoid the NOW trigger since it operates on a delay. The locks (there are three) are somewhat on the fringe of the zwave network at 3 stars in the repair report, and because the setup with the NOW trigger works, I assume the increased latency might be a factor? If i activate the locks outside of pleg, they always work reliably.
Is there something I’m overlooking? Must be really simple I bet?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
