I have my 3D printer in my laundry room, and it's been setting off the motion detector, which turns on the light. My workaround was to have the light on event check the status of the laundry room door - it wouldn't fire if the door was closed. Then I realized that it might be better to leave the door open while the washer is running/airing out, to minimize the humidity, which can ruin 3D printing filament, and my quick workaround thought was to create an event that sets the laundry room's door sensor to appear closed.
I'm not sure if what I was attempting to do was possible, but somehow I thought anything I did wrong would be reset by open/closing a door, which is turning out not to be the case.
The list of sensor names is a bit truncated, and I didn't know which door sensor was being controlled by the event (which has the action of setting the device's string to 0), so I kept selecting different ones, saving, and manually running the event, expecting the laundry room door sensor to eventually read closed. Not only did this not happen, but now a few of my sensor devices show a gear icon, and no current status.
Is there any easy way to bring back the status on these devices? Thanks!
