I have been attempting to use the Logitech harmony device On/Off state as a condition for other actions (unsuccessfully) and not sure what I am missing.
If I change out the condition to use a smart plug or light using On/Off state as the condition then the automation script does work correctly.
I have exactly the same issue when using a Mirabella Genio door/window sensor.
I want to use the if the door is sensor is open and the airconditioner is ON then broadcast to the kids google speaker with close the windows, and after a 10 minute delay turn if they are still open turn off the airconditioner. My simple example script below that doesn't work with the logitech devices. If anyone has had any luck using the Harmony Hub for automations or mirabella door sensor I'd love to hear about it! Many thanks in advance.
