Sunset Scene Issues

It appears that unchecking "enable" for my sunset scene isn't working. I have one scene called "Sunset" and another "Christmas Sunset". During this season I use a different sunset scene to turn on Christmas lights at sunset. Test activating both scenes, they both work properly. They both have a "Sunset every 1 day" trigger. The regular sunset is not enabled, and the Christmas sunset is enabled. However, the regular sunset still runs, and the Christmas sunset doesn't. The only way I've seen to fix this is to remove the sunset trigger from the sunset scene. Any ideas?

Thanks!!


Can you go offline then back online again and see if that resets it?

If not, in the tools/options there's a way to log extra scene data. When you startup InControl, it will write info to your logfile.txt about when the times are scheduled and if the scene was skipped because of a condition or some other reason. Look in there to see if there is any info about your scene not running.

I've tried it two times since. Both times just checking or unchecking the enable box on a scene with a sunset trigger did nothing. One time turning off and on the service had no effect on the sunset scene and I had to restart the machine to get it to work. The second time restarting the service worked. You may wish to investigate further.

Thanks!
