Force Sensor Polling

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ab:
I have couple of these Link bulbs installed as well and did notice some issues even with the bulb powered. The Phone/tablet app showed the bulb state as Off when the state was On and vice-versa (indicating refresh issues) or showed the dimmer as 100% when it was dimmed or the wrong one displayed that it was dimmed when not etc... I had to hit the button (in the App) to refresh and get it to work.

Not tested with A+ UI as yet!

LGNilsson:
Is this on Android or iOS?

fillibar:
I use the Android app.

fillibar:
Just to note, I just checked the app now and noted 2 oddities that relate to this:
1) Both GE Link bulbs I have show as "On". That is highly unlikely as I did not turn them on and one of them (at least) had the power manually turned off for the fixture it is in this morning.
2) One of my motion detectors indicates motion... But it has for days. It is in the garage, so there are no likely causes for a false positive (no animals).

My bet on both of these is that the Almond+ has lost connection and is retaining the last known value. Example of the need for forced polling and communication timeout.

mparadis:
Just making sure that you know if you turn off the power going to the link bulbs they cannot be turned back on by the almond+ until power was restored... I don't know of anyway to turn them off "manually" other than unscrew them or turn off the switch going to the lamp they are in.
