question around scene under dashboard

[U5tabil 2]

I have a question as i think something is wrong and being the reason for my variables not to work etc.

In picture and under the scene place, i can see some of my variables "Play" and some are "Stop" probably not running. But why? Should not the setting "run when home center 2 starts" make it active always? Or do i get the whole thing wrong?

Can someone explain this too me? Thanks.

I can only tell you about lua scenes. If it's a lua scene, the %%autostart in the header makes it start at boot. Also include a sleep to make sure Z-wave engine (and other stuff) is running. Al my %%autostart scenes display the "stop" in the dashboard, the others have "play" buttons.

Of course, if you want to keep it alive you need some sort of "while true" loop...

Does this help?

I think i get what you mean.

But i havent been using LUA, but i see that i should start understanding it more if i ever want stuff to really work.

But in settings i put autostart but in lua comparing the one that are working with the one that are not i can see i difference, that may be the reason for it not autostarting even though i told it to autostart.

In the top i see that autostart is present but then in the code its not there if i compare it to one of those that are starting

in the start there is this:

So maybe i need to add something to the first one then or? can someone show how? And im not sure if i follow you on this "if loop" or something.

The biggest problem for me now is basically that the scenes dont start running when they should by themself. I dont know why. Cause once i set that run if value = "this" then do that. i just dont know why...

Your scenes, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night is running active.

The rest is not.
