Problem Description

When your Inovelli Inovelli Hold Actions isn't working as expected, it usually traces back to one of a small number of causes — this guide covers them in order, starting with the most likely.

Symptoms

  • Hold not detected
  • Tap works only
  • Automation never fires on hold

Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.

Common Causes

  • Hold action disabled
  • Event mapping missing hold code
  • Integration sends different hold payload

Most fixes happen in the first 3 steps.

Warning

Do not assume old automation blueprints include current hold-event schema.

Tools & Requirements

Step-by-Step Solution

1

Verify hold event support

Confirm current integration exposes hold action events.

2

Capture raw hold payload

Use event monitor to identify exact hold event key/value.

3

Update automation trigger

Bind hold logic to observed payload and retest.

Quick Solutions

Enable hold events
Map current hold payload
Re-test with live event monitor

Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.

If the sensor still misses events after repositioning, check whether a scheduled 'home' or 'away' mode is overriding the sensitivity setting silently.

Pro Tip

Hold actions often use different payload keys than tap actions.

Real-World Insight

This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.

What Usually Goes Wrong
  • Hold action disabled
  • Event mapping missing hold code
  • Integration sends different hold payload
