mrkenn Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I have created a scene that contains one light (bedroom). I set the Scene ramp rate to 9 minutes (Max) and On Level to 80%. The Light Ramp Rate is set to 2 seconds, On Level to 100%. I have a program that says If Time is 6:00AM Then Set Scene 'WakeUp' On This turns the lights on, but at the local light rate of 2sec/100%. If I modify the scene to 8min/80%, it works appropriately, slowly turning the lights on over 8 minutes. Is there a reason that setting the scene values to max would change the behavior of the Scene On command?
LeeG Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 SmartLabs changed the 9 minute ramp rate definition to respond as 0.2 seconds. EDIT: the rationale behind that change has to do with the fact that a 9 minute ramp rate definition is a 00 value. If the ramp rate was never set for some reason such that the ramp rate value remained at 00 it looks like the device failed to react to an On command when it is actually just taking 9 minutes to turn On. Visually there is little difference between an 8 minute ramp up and a 9 minute ramp up but it apparently reduced the number of support calls Smarthome was getting.
