SmartAction automation not running consistently or completing
SmartAction automation not running consistently or completing
Hi.
I have a couple of Smart Action automations that disable or enable the privicy modes of two cameras and, the automations either SOMETIMES do not run at all or do not complete.. that is, the may turn on or off one camera but not the other.
The log entries say that the autonations were successful unless it didn't run at all, in which case there's no entry.
What's wrong?

An update for this post:
In this case, the automation is set to "When at xx time, Then 1. Turn on/off camera privacy mode, 2. Disable automation." The second action that disables automation refers to this automation itself. Since the automation actions are executed simultaneously rather than sequentially, and there is no 'Delay' action included in the action list, this automation might be disabled first before the camera privacy mode is toggled.
In Tapo automation, all the set actions will be executed together when the trigger activates (and the condition is met) UNLESS there is a 'Delay' action inserted. Consider the 'Delay' action is a pause, the actions following the "Delay" action will be paused until the delay countdown ends.
