Cross posting here from Hometroller hoping for some feedback.
I have an HSM100 in a stairway to the basement and another HSM100 in the basement itself. Each device has its own Device Value Change event to turn on the basement overhead light. Turning the corner to walk down the steps is normally enough to set off the first HSM100 and turn on the light within 1 second.
Occasionally, it can take 10-30 seconds for the light to come on, yet a hour later it will be back to 1 second. When examining the log file, I normally see the Temperature and Light reports for the triggered HSM100 followed by the Overhead Light ON entry followed by the Temp and Light entry for the 2nd HSM100 as I enter the basement.
Last night, I walked down the stair and into the basement (in complete darkness) and the light finally came on after 20-30 seconds. On examining the log file, there were no entries for either HSM100, just the entry for the Overhead Light ON event. There were no corresponding entries in the Windows Envent Viewer so it doesnt look there was any sort of OS issue. The HT2 was restarted < 36 hours earlier.
This morning the light came on in < 1 second and the expected log entries were present.
I know others have reported similiar problems, but I wonder if they also had missing log entries? Under what circumstances would HS correctly detect Motion and fire the event but fail to make a log entries for the HSM100? Perhaps this is a hint as to why the event takes so long to fire.
Best Regards,
Mark
