Rule malfunctions when editing from second PC?

I'm having some apparently random rule failures and I've just noticed that one rule that is supposed to run every 30 minutes, but is not firing at all (I know when it fires because it flips a switch that I put there to test it) was last edited from a second PC, not the PC where I usually edit my rules.

I can't confirm this problem or give more details, except to say that I've noticed that when modifications are made from the Control Center on one PC (and then synched, and the Zipabox rebooted) the Control Center doesn't refresh names or rules on the other PC where you have the Control Center open. You have to reload the application to see the changes. If you forget to do this, make modifications and then synch them, I don't know what sort of mess you might end up with :-)

I suppose one lesson is: don't ever leave the Control Center open.

I'll try to do some more tests and see if I can draw firmer conclusions.

OK since there are some other problems with the scheduler, etc., I'll see if everything works properly when they're fixed.

Exactly the same issue here, editing rules from two PCs turns everything into a mess and half the triggers just stop working.

Now when something breaks, I just screen-record the buggy behavior, open InShot on my phone, speed it up, add big red arrows + “this stopped working” text, and send the 20-second clip to the family group so everyone sees what’s wrong. Takes me 90 seconds and looks way clearer than trying to explain in text.


InShot Pro latest version is perfect for these quick troubleshooting videos, 4K, no watermark, super clean overlays. Saves my sanity every single time the Zipabox acts up. Anyone else doing the same?
