Best way to write rules

[lipp_markus]

A while back there was an interesting thread on this:

General best practices for maintainable rule and item arrangements

Has anybody come up with a good method of defining rules and scenes for their openhab setups that aren’t too difficult to maintain? I’ve had openhab up and running for about 6 months with 4 lights in two rooms in my apartment. The rules seemed a bit complicated to maintain for what I wanted to do. For example, when I say “bedtime”, the living room lights where I am turn up to 50% so I can see my way to the bathroom to get ready for bed. After a bit of time, they gradually dim all the way to OFF…

Maybe the discussion in there helps
