Clarification on setting up rules in R069cb?

[LGNilsson]

It's not possible to enable/disable rules in the current firmware. It was added to the UI, but it's not done in the backend as yet.

I think they actually did today.
Mine are in the basement and they were on after a timed event was supposed to turn them on.  I asked if anyone else had been in the basement and nobody had.  Not sure why it chose today to work and didn't yesterday though.  Rule was 6pm mon to fri turn on.

I'll play more over the weekend to see what else I can get to work.

I get the same behavior (I can get them to turn off, but not on).

Same here, two Wink bulbs, I'm using the key fob as the trigger, can turn off but not on. I'm also getting some inconsistency in just manually turning the bulbs on, sometimes I seems to also need to set the dim state, in addition to or instead of toggling the on/off.

It won't be part of the automation/rules, we're doing push notifications through the apps and once the new apps are out, you'll be able to get notifications. The software team is working on solving a couple of backend issues and once that's done, we'll release the new apps.

We'll get this sorted out, keep in mind that R069cb is the first release that supports rules and as pointed out in the release notes, there will be bugs and this is one of them.

To be clear, the inconsistency in turning the wink bulbs on/off is the general sensor ui, not just the rules (which don't turn them on at all)

One thing to remember is to go into Open WRT and make sure the Almond+ is set to the correct time zone.  When I first started playing with rules I had an issue with the time based rules because I had never updated the time zone in Open WRT.  Works perfect now.
