Presence simulation cannot start

[proasnet]

Hi, today I tried start service. I have installed more than 7 days. I have created group and this selected in integration, that has history. If I call service presence_simulation.start, service not start, and switch.presence_simulation is still as off value. If I toogle switch.presence_simulation from off state to on state, state will return back to off. I am doing something wrong, but I dont know what. Please, help me. Thank you very much.

I found the issue, it doesn't like the lights as a group. I have just changed mine to list all the lights individually and it will now activate.

When you added the group what syntax did you use? In the example I saw the group listed as "group.for_presence_simulation", so I typed group.pgroup (as pgroup is the name I used). However the syntax should be light.pgroup and again that allowed the simulation to start.

I tried specifying single lights, separated by a comma, in the integration settings instead of a group, and the problem is not solved. Still the same thing. I have a group defined in the helpers with the name of the group "light.presence_simulator_group"

Could you please activate the logger in debug mode and share the logs?

Hi, now I tried get back the group to the integration settings, enable logging and switch on a service. Now the service has stayed on, but there are strange errors in the log that don't make sense to me.

The specified group of lights is entered by the helper by default. The group includes RGBCW lights and relay lights

[slashback100]

The log says that the entities associated to your group don't exist. Indeed, the names are SW_Chodba_0NP, SW_Chodba_1NP, ... but it should be something like light.SW_Chodba_0NP, light.SW_Chodba_1NP ...
