input_boolean not working correctly

[derjoerg]

Hi,

first of all: I LOVE this integration!

Now to my problem :)

I created an boolean input-helper in HA called: input_boolean.sleep For that helper I created an automation, which - based on on or off - do several things (like closing a shutter and turn on a light). Afterwards I exposed this helper through emulated_hue to F@H. It is shown correctly in F@H as light. I then put this "light" on my 7'- panel.

So now the following happens:

• If I toggle the helper in HA it is not reflected in F@H
• If I turn on the "light" in F@H it is correctly updated in HA to "on" and my automation kicks in, BUT
• • After some seconds (around 3) it automatically went to "off" in F@H, without modifying the state in HA so I can't turn it off through F@H (as it already is off) [in HA it is still "on" and I can turn it to "off"
• • If I click on the "light" within the first three seconds (see above) it is correctly updated in HA to "off" and my automation kicks in

What am I doing wrong?

BTW: I have several other boolean input-helper configured to e.g. capture a F@H movement-sensor or the doorbell and they work as expected.

Thanks a lot in advance Joerg

Hi @derjoerg,

did you upgrade your HomeAssistant Core? I had the same issue after upgrading from HA Core 2022.6.7 to a newer version. There are already a few discussions around this topic:

• https://community.home-assistant.io/t/emulated-hue-busch-jaeger-free-home-not-working-anymore/440369
• https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/75057

I did downgrade to 2022.6.7 in order to make it work again.

Ah,

thanks for the hint.

I'm already on 2022.11.3 and using new features. So a downgrade is not possible for me.

But I will monitor these links.

Same here!

Hi,

I finally got it to work :)

I don't use emulated Hue anymore, but the local Rest-Api with Node-Red.

It's a kind of hack, but as it uses the official APIs I think it might be a bit future-proof.
