Issue - delay duration in smart scenes not respected

Dear Forum,

For the past two days I have encounter serious problems with my automation…… without changing anything in the logic of my smart scenes the delay duration started varying very much, for multiple scenes and devices. Just to give you an example, instead of a light staying on for 10 min when presence is detected by a sensor, it stays on for 3/4/7 min, or even seconds and after if switches to off.

Again, in the past the same automation logic worked very well.

Please help!

Probably an error on the cloud side again… The only thing you can do is send a ticket to support through the application.

How can I raise the ticket :)?

It’s probably a variable time from detecting motion to detecting no motion. Do you have an eWeLink Cube capable device? (iHost or NS Panel Pro).

I am facing the same problem

Anyone knows how to open a ticket, please?

Issue is getting bigger ….i have now devices which are tuning on “triggered by scenes”, but there was no scene running at the time they were switched on….

At the moment when I am writing these words, I have not yet observed a similar situation. Although it’s possible that it will happen…

From the point of view of an ordinary user, we will not do anything about it because it is simply impossible. The only thing you can do is write to support and report the situation, maybe someone will read it and move on.

The only thing I can add is that in case of an emergency, rebuild your automation ecosystem from ewelink to https://sequematic.com and pair your ewelink account. This is not a perfect solution, but at least to some extent it will work even when the ewelink cloud is getting stupid.

I have the same problem. I create scenes through ihost. In my case, I need to delay the turning off of a light when no movement is detected by the motion sensor. The 60-second operating time on the device is not enough for me. I would need the light to stay on for at least 5 minutes, so I put a 5-minute delay before the command to turn off the light.

to turn off the light you need to build a complex scene consisting of 2 scenes.

(scene 1 - manual scene )

if : (TAP TO RUN) - manual scene ,

then :

  • wait 5 minutes,
  • turn off the device…

(scene 2)

if: SNZB-03 - no motion detected.

then:

  • enable scene no. 1

with this configuration the light always goes out after 5 minutes. if we enter the room before 5 minutes have passed the light will go out anyway, even though the sensor detects movement.

I didn’t understand what I put in (PRESS), because what I need is for the light to turn off when someone forgets it on, when there is no movement detected. And if there is movement detected, the light takes at least 5 minutes to turn off, because it turns off in 1 minute.

in ihost you have two types of scenes. automatic scene and manual scene which you throw by pressing the tile.
