It looks like AppSelector can be used as a starter (which i find kind of fascinating...) but it doesn't seem to do anything. The docs are not clear to me on how to expect it to work.
The values in this script have been filled in through the auto-complete. When i run the script from the editor it works.
Expected: When opening the appselector specified application on the associated device, the actions will fire.
Actual: Nothing happens when selecting the application on the device.
Note: If i use `device.state.OnOff` with the same device as the starter, the action does fire.
