I recall reading this. Might be a lie cause it's kind of fuzzy.... But have you tried this event using "changes and becomes" rather than "set"? My fuzzy memory is telling me that the two conditions are different in that "set" implies that you did it where as the other doesn't. Make sense?
And I could be all wet too.
Cheers!

Ideas?
"Unknown" is not a true status, it is actually a hidden device setting "DeviceInvalidValue" which is set to True when this happens. As you can see in the screenshots below, even though the Device shows "Unknown" with the question mark graphic, the status and value remain at 0. There is no "Unknown" graphic in the device, it is there because of the Device flag. The device in the screenshot is a root device, that is why it's string is set to "No Status".
I do not know of any way to trigger an Event on Unknown status, since it is not a true status as far as the Event Engine is concerned. It might be possible to look at the device flag with a script, but I haven't looked into it.
I used this immediate script to clear the flag:Code:&hs.DeviceInvalidValue(7173) = False
The next time your lock goes to Unknown, you might look at the device's Advanced tab to see exactly what the Value, String and Status of the device is. Remember - the only thing that native triggers can look at is the Value, Status and String cannot be triggered upon. Spud's plug-in can trigger on the String.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.0 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

Originally posted by rprade View PostIt depends upon if the string changes to "Unknown". In the example I posted above the device shows as "Unknown" in the device manager, but the string is still "No Status". You would have to look at one of your unknown devices and see what the string is.Michael

Originally posted by Rvtravlr View PostWell, the string did not change to UNKOWN. It was Off/Unlocked. I flooded the lock with commands until I got an Unkown
Is there a way to catch the error from the log? We have quite reliable z-wave but every so often this happens and I would like to trigger on it.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.0 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon
