Cannot make the presence simulation work #65

Closed ThomasGNielsen closed 1 year ago

Hi Home Assistant version 2022.7.7 Presence simulation version 2.2

I am new to HA. I cannot make the app work. I think is is something with the menu “Entity or groups of entities”. I am not sure what to write. I have made a group of lights and copied the make to the menu. However, nothing happens. No errors or nothing. And no lights are turned on. wWhat to do?

Is the switch created? Could you set the log to debug and try again? (procedure here)

Thanks for your swift reply. I have no idea on how to set the log to debug. Where do I insert the code...?

However, I have made a group of lights. And I can see that when the app is triggered by a switch I have, the simulation is turned on. But no lights. Funny enough, when I turn the app off (with the switch I have) all lights in the group is switched off. So something is working. An idea: Is my log too short to make data for the app to simulate something?

update: Now a light is switched on. So things works I suppose. Maybe I just need patience?

The service to change the log level needs to be called from here.

Yes I guess that if a light is turning on, it is working :-) FYI you can take a look in this screen the attributes of the entity switch.presence_simulation when the simulation is launched, it will give you info about what it is doing and on which and when next light will be turned on/off.
