[XTension] Hubitat not syncing with Xtension

Wow Brian, you got guts. I just did the bathroom as a test. And so far I am not happy. I may switch back to you my Vera plus. I couldn’t imagine switching 80 units and having them not work.

Currently my bathroom light has been on for 12 hours. That is in spite of the fact that I have a heartbeat script in XTension that has told her to go off at least seven times an hour for the last 12 hours.

So yeah, I’m not gonna trust it for critical infrastructure.

If you post anywhere else, let me know. I will jump in and say yes, I am having the same experience.

Overall, I am not a happy camper. I upgraded to an M1, and almost none of my wireless sensors are working.

Not only does Hubitat get out of sync with XT, Hubitat itself loses sync with the devices. I have situations an XT On command doesn't seem to execute, and I believe that it is because the HE thinks the device is already on. The immediate solution to that situation seems to be to issue an Off command, followed by the On command.

I can turn that circuit on and off via XT. Strange!
