Conditional rule execution "but only if" not working

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

Hi,

I’m using OH3.1 on win2019 server and can’t get the rules “but only if” section to work.

I have some trigger condition for lights (when updated item[‘dark’] == on),
and the ‘but only if’ when an switch item != “On” within a script .

I can trigger the rule manually but it doesn matter if I put in the script any of the following code lines:


(false == true)

Or

("ON" == "OFF")

Or 

(false)

Or 

return false;

It’s always evaluated as true, the rule is always executed when I start a manual rule trigger

Someone an idea?

Can you show us the whole rule? Is this UI or file? What language?

would be much easier to help if you post the rule. i suppose DSL?
the perhaps try not to put the ON in quotations, like:

if (youritem.state == ON){
     ....

I notice that the “run script” button doesn’t take the “but only if” condition.

I’ve set a cron timer job to trigger the rule every minute and I’m able to block or allow the rule by using only a “false” or a “true” in the ‘but only if’ condition.

But when I’m making things more complex, there’s not action.

This is the “but only if” content for emacs script:


( (items["LGweb_Power"] == "ON") | (items["Sleeptime"] != "ON") )

first equation is false, second condition is true, so it should run every minute (but doesn’t). Or should it ‘return’?

Complete rule:

triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      time: 06:03
    type: timer.TimeOfDayTrigger
  - id: "5"
    configuration:
      itemName: Donker
      state: ON
    type: core.ItemStateUpdateTrigger
  - id: "8"
    configuration:
      cronExpression: 0 * * * * ? *
    type: timer.GenericCronTrigger
conditions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "6"
    configuration:
      type: application/javascript
      script: ( (items["LGweb_Power"] == "ON") | (items["Sleeptime"] != "ON") )
    type: script.ScriptCondition
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      itemName: LightsOnCondition
      command: ON
    type: core.ItemCommandAction
  - inputs: {}
    id: "4"
    configuration:
      itemName: Night
      command: ON
    type: core.ItemCommandAction
  - inputs: {}
    id: "9"
    configuration:
      itemName: Lighting_long
      command: ON
    type: core.ItemCommandAction
  - inputs: {}
    id: "10"
    configuration:
      itemName: Lighting
      command: ON
    type: core.ItemCommandAction
  - inputs: {}
    id: "11"
    configuration:
      icon: Light
      severity: Warn
      message: Triggered rule lights on
    type: notification.SendExtendedBroadcastNotification

Found it!

The OR statement was made by ‘|’, but must be a double pipe for JavaScript ‘||’.

And now it works!
