Reactor sensor not resetting (shows tripped, but says untripped)

Plugins & Plugin Development Reactor

Hi Rigpapa!

It’s been a while, but I’m still happily using Reactor. I do hope you’re keeping well!!

I have a problem that’s been puzzling me over the last ~ month, and for the life of me, I can’t figure what I might have changed to cause this because it used to work fine for the longest time. I’ve had this happen with a couple different reactor sensors, but the one I’m including in the logic summary below
Screenshot 2022-11-17 070950
seems to do it repeatedly every morning after I leave the geofence.

It’s weird, the sensor shows as tripped (it displays RED in the main GUI), but it clearly says “untripped”, and if I go look at the conditions inside the sensor, none of the groups are evaluating TRUE. But the sensor is behaving as if it were tripped…

It’s like the sensor isn’t resetting after a conditions group goes false. Further, it’s not turning off the lights like it should in the “activities”, they seem to all stay on. (so, it’s like the sensor is never untripping and running the associated activity with its root going false).

I must disable, reset, and re-enable the sensor to get it working again. But next morning, it does the same thing. Can you see by the logic summary where I might be going wrong? Grateful for any help!

Thanks Patrick!

Two things jump out at me:

  1. You’re not on the latest version.

  2. Using a variable to get and test group state isn’t necessary, there’s a Group State condition type for that purpose. I note that the variable value in the condition check produced a value of nil, which is pretty odd. Have you made any changes to that ReactorSensor lately (#43 Dark Outside).

Before doing any further changes, you may just want to do a restart of the two RS’s involved to make sure their states are consistent after any editing. That button is on the Status view. Failing that, I say upgrade first (instructions in the pinned post in this category), check that RS #43, and if that doesn’t bear fruit, we can go deeper.

How Intriguing!! I thought I’d updated to the latest within vera, but apparantly i didn’t. I’ll pull the files direct from github and and drag/drop them to the upload in the vera developer interface :+1:

I thought it might be more efficient to call the groupstate through an expression, but the fact it returns NIL when it’s evaluated is odd… no changes have been made to the (#43 Dark Outside) sensor oherwise hmm… :thinking:

I’ll change the logic to check the “GroupState” of the (#43 Dark Outside) sensor instead of calling it through a variable expression (or even just use device state to see if (#43 Dark Outside) sensor is tripped ). Will also reset all the sensors involved in the logic, and see if the poblem is corrected tomorrow morning.

Thanks for these keen observations Patrick as always, grateful for your expertise and dedication to this amazing work of logic art. :smile:

Will report back tom !

Well, 2 days post mods and running strong and as expected now Patrick. Not sure which of the above maintenance tips was to thank but they seem to have solved it. I think maybe it was my use of the getstate in the variables, then trying to evaluate them, as I notice getstate returns a strring rather than a number (like 0 or 1). Wonder if that might have been responsible for the NIL value and causing the sensor to not reset.

Anyhow, glad it was a simple fix. Thanks SM for your insight as this was driving me crazy lol :laughing:
