VLAN Fail safe

I have a version 10.2 HA pair newly built for a DC, and facing issues with "vlan failsafe" whenever I shut down an interface on the switch for device A, vlan failsafe is triggered on both the devices A & B and they both go to standby.is there any other active device in that vlan besides device A? if no, vlan failsafe on device B will also be triggered because there is no traffic on that vlan (since only active device on that vlan, device A, is already down).

if you want to failover when interface is down, i think ha-group might be better solution.
