TO REPRODUCE

_Steps to reproduce the behavior:_

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

_A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen._
The provided rule has no results:
16:39:49 RSL: stat/sonoff1/RESULT = {"Rule1":"ON","Once":"OFF","StopOnError":"OFF","Free":342,"Rules":"on APDS9960#Long do power toggle endon on APDS9960#Up do dimmer + endon on APDS9960#Down do dimmer - endon on APDS9960#Left do ct + endon on APDS9960#Right do ct - endon"}

SCREENSHOTS

_If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem._

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

_Add any other context about the problem here._
This is the rule status in the console
16:39:49 RSL: stat/sonoff1/RESULT = {"Rule1":"ON","Once":"OFF","StopOnError":"OFF","Free":342,"Rules":"on APDS9960#Long do power toggle endon on APDS9960#Up do dimmer + endon on APDS9960#Down do dimmer - endon on APDS9960#Left do ct + endon on APDS9960#Right do ct - endon"}
This rule works perfectly:
on DHT11#Temperature>10.9 do power1 toggle endon
and the result is:
16:44:10 RSL: stat/sonoff1/RESULT = {"POWER1":"OFF"} 16:44:10 RSL: stat/sonoff1/POWER1 = OFF 16:44:12 RUL: DHT11#TEMPERATURE>10.9 performs "power1 toggle" 16:44:12 RSL: stat/sonoff1/RESULT = {"POWER1":"ON"} 16:44:12 RSL: stat/sonoff1/POWER1 = ON

(Please, remember to close the issue when the problem has been addressed)

[Staars]

Please try with prefix 'Tele-', so it becomes 'Tele-APDS9960#Up' and so on.

[artafakhari]

It Worked !!
Thanks a lot

@artafakhari

Hi,

Please, can you add this example to the wiki? It will be very useful for other users too. Thanks

[artafakhari]

I checked and see that @staars did it
Without his advice it was so confusing.

Could you please help me a way to dim the light smoothly?

[Staars]

I think, you want to use the FADE command. But as this is unrelated to the gesture sensor, please consider to ask for help at the Discord-channel.

[artafakhari]

@Staars I used Fade 1 command and it worked.
But faced another issue:

the sensor continuously goes into LONG state
I thought my sensor is damaged and replaced it with a new one. Also changed the cabling. But still I'm have this problem.

When I reboot the devices it works normal but after a while it happnes again

[artafakhari]

I think I could solve the problem with this Command
Sensor27 2

[Staars]

Yes, the sensor can be tricky and I tried to provide a solution with the special command, that you already found.

Good luck and best regards
