Regarding signal issues or other plugins interfering with the timers, since the RFX devices update every +/- 50 seconds, and the triggers sit silent for hours, it doesn't seem likely that here could be signal collisions interfering for so long. I've attached a screen shot showing a control page on the left reflecting that 2 of 5 timers (Fam and Game) are stopped (red), the Indigo device listing showing these two timers inactive, and the control page reflecting that all the timers are in sync, as the devices are firing and updating the indigo database.
On another topic, I have a couple of triggers which should fire based on any change received from the AD2USB plugin. This trigger changes the temps in the family room and study if there is activity detected, as determined by the IR sensors firing. The IR sensors fire:

but the trigger does not execute. The trigger is set to execute on any change in the state of the IR sensors (two sensors so two triggers; neither fire). Below is a manual execution of the trigger:

This leads to the next problem. If you note, the " "Thermostat Fam Study" set heat setpoint to 71.0" is a direct send to that thermostat. However, the set point request shows that the set point is actually not 71 but 68, which is correct on the thermostat. Indigo actually still thinks the set point is 71 on the control page temp. The temp can be manually adjusted upwards to get to 71 and it will stick then.

In trying to trouble shoot this issue, I've been through all my triggers to see if there is one which is executing to set the temp to 68. No luck. I swapped both the thermostat (Venstar 1900) and the adapter with another room's thermostat and adapter and it works correctly in the other room, while the other room's thermostat still sets itself to 68. That makes me think there is some sort of phantom command being sent to reset the thermostat to 68. I guess the next step is to go into debug mode and look.
Any advice on these issues would be deeply appreciated.
PS: the thermostat motion detector did fire on its own -- erratic behavior -- as noted below, with the thermostat issue again demonstrated.
