Group status not updating.

[TC1]

Problem: On/Off status not updating for a group of TRÅDFRI control outlets

Steps to re-create: Take one or more TRÅDFRI control outlets and assign them to a group in the JowiHue PI. Goto the group device in the HS Device page, change group device to On. The outlets will turn on, however in the group device the Value remains 0, and Status remains Off.

HS4 v4.1.9.0, Jowi 4.0.3.3

Tony,

As the on/off group function is working fine for lights I think this might be an issue on the deCONZ environment. I do not have the tradfree outlets here (do they support energy reporting?) but will try with another outlet here, maybe it is a common issue.

Nope, no energy reporting. They are cheap $10 USD but effective switched outlets and zigbee repeaters. Bought a bunch for controlling indoor Xmas lights, trying to control them all from a group.

Tony,

Bad news, the group functions perfectly on a group made of innr plugs for me, so it should not be something the plugin misses for plugs in common. The group updates immediate here. The devices here are on the deCONZ gateway.
This might be a tradfri issue for deCONZ then. If you switch the plugs on through the group device, wait for 2 minutes and then open the properties/JowiHue tab of the group device, what does the JSON say for the all_on and any_on attributes?

A work around might be assigning one plugs feature as leading device for your events and then set the other plugs to follow this device by linking the on/off feature of each plugin to the leading feature?

Something tells me it's a not deconz issue (of course I could be wrong, ask my wife)....

I turned on the outlets through the group device and then waited 10+ minutes before taking the screen capture below, notice the group device shows off...



And here is the JSON for the Group device:

Tony,

Looking at the devices I notice the update time of the group device and the plugs are the same. I presume this was updated when you pressed the button on the group device?
I have no clue why our results during testing are so much different? I press a button on the group device and updates come within 2 seconds on the HS device. I would like to see a verbose log of you pressing the button and the plugs switching on. I think something more is happening on your setup then that I can think of right now?

Wim, sent you a verbose log to your direct email.
