I’m having trouble reliably controlling the dead devices. Sometimes everything works as expected, but other times various devices won’t turn on or off. The error isn’t reproducible and affects different activities and different devices. Here’s the start sequence for an example activity. What could be causing this?
Does this only affect IR devices? You can inspect the core service logs under settings/development/logs to see if every command was executed.

I notice that you have a Samsung TV - and so do i.
What, not solved it, but at least made it better, was to disable Anynet+ (or hdmi cec) in your settings on the Samsung.
Have you seen the (very well) hidden activity handler?
Yes, it only affects IR devices. At first, I thought the IR connection wasn’t working due to insufficient coverage. But I can rule that out, since it also occurs when I turn the action on and off several times within a very short period of time without changing anything on the devices or my seating position. Yesterday evening (I had unfortunately already reached my maximum number of posts here, so it’s only now), my AV receiver didn’t turn off. But I couldn’t find anything in the logs. It could be that the IR transmitter isn’t sending a strong enough signal. Due to the lack of feedback about the switching status, everything is fine for the remote, but the device is still in the wrong state. I ordered two docks, but I’m currently only using one of them. However, I have both large IR transmitters connected to one dock. Interestingly, the dock sometimes displays a low voltage warning. But that can’t be right. I’ve already replaced the power supply, and the current one is 30W at 5V.
You mean the Activity Groups, so you can switch directly between two activities? I use that, but I haven’t enabled anything. What exactly do you mean?
Anynet+ and HDMI CEC have always been disabled for me. But it’s somewhat reassuring to know I’m not the only one experiencing this issue.
That’s how it’s set up for me. Unused entities should be deactivated. But I’m not entirely sure what point 1 means…
The issue was for me, that after switching from one active Activity to another, that all the delays were skipped. Which results in a half down motorized screen. Also all my LED´s were switched off from the previous activity. Try to set everything to “never” & check if your problem still exist.
The first point mean, if one activity is running and you switch to another (without ending them), the programmed delays are skipped. For me, the description is a little bit confusing.
I’ve now set the first setting to “never,” which makes sense. I can’t set number 2 to “never” because then all devices stay on. It’s different for me than for you. Thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a try.
