Try "Night" (capital N)... case matters to Hubitat

[gwp1]

@toggledbits When it is time for the house to go into night there is an Alexa routine that flips a virtual switch. This is the sole trigger and the result is the running of a Reaction.

This has been unchanged.

At the end of the reaction is a :10 delay and the virtual switch flips back off again (for next time.) That's it. Nothing fancy. All of these steps are working except for the mode actually changing to night.

This has worked for MONTHS untouched. I'm literally watching it step thru here:

[gwp1]

@gwp1 Ok, this is very odd. I can change the mode in this reaction to any other mode but night and it works. Put it back to night as the outcome and nada.

@gwp1 Please show the entity detail for the "Mode" entity (Entities list).

Also, try setting "Night" from the Entities list actions. And grab logs for the action if it doesn't change.

[gwp1]

@toggledbits This is odd. Wouldn't I expect to see all the modes listed under x_hubitat_sys_mode.modes={"Day":1}?

Tried setting Night from the Entities list actions. Nada.

[toggledbits]

According to the entity, the only mode that exists on the hub is Day. Log in to your hub and check the Modes screen. If that agrees, something happened to your hub (firmware upgrade to latest new version recently?).

[gwp1]

@toggledbits

Latest release to 2.3.0.115 on Hubitat. Rolling back to .113 to see what happens.

[gwp1]

@gwp1 Rolled back to .113, saw this:

When the restore was done it was in Evening because that's where it was when the release was deployed and backup taken.

Did a Tools > Restart on MSR to ensure everything was synced and now I see this again:

[toggledbits]

Are you on their latest firmware?

[gwp1]

@toggledbits Well I was until apparently an hour ago lol Seems there's .116 out now. Also, rolling back apparently doesn't restore the old firmware to .113 like I thought it would. I'm still on .115. Guess I'll fail forward to .116.

[gwp1]

@gwp1 On Hubitat's latest, .116. No change.

Following my Rule#1 of troubleshooting, "what changed?" I rolled back MSR to 21332 (because I'd just updated to 21337) just in case and now I see this:

Things are behaving as they should. Using the Entities menu I triggered mode night and it flipped over (only to flip back to day as it should because it's day time - but I watched it three times visibly flip to the correct mode.)

[toggledbits]

Yup, and I think I see the issue... stay tuned...

[toggledbits]

OK. 21338

[gwp1]

@toggledbits Yep - all good! Thanks Patrick, I'll mark this as solved. Appreciate it.

[toggledbits]

Thanks for doing the footwork, being the hands and eyes! Sorry for the trouble. Onward!
