1- A rule should be activated iff a particular sequence of events has occurred. I mean, if the events (state changes) occurred in a chronological way.
For example, "Notify me if MotionSensorA detected movement and then the DoorContactB was opened and ...."

This sounds a lot like the wasp in box example I posted awhile back here

Rule Example Wasp in Box

This is a very simple implementation of the ‘wasp in box’ algorithm for detecting overall presence. In home automation very often, we want the system to do certain things, but only if someone is home. Thus, this concept can almost be considered a foundation for lots of other decision making. This example is a very rudimentary implementation but I run this rule and it works in openHAB on my system and I hope others can learn from this simple example or use it for a starting point and improve it. …

based on this rule example comparing two times

Rule example - compare two times

This is a simple rule example for folks like me, who are new to openHAB, and need simple examples of rules to get started. In this example, two times are compared, enabling us to make a decision based on if one event occurred before another. In the example, a contact switch on an entry door triggers a time stamp. A motion detector also triggers a time stamp. The two times can be compared to see if the occupant (andy) is home (motion since door was opened) or left (no motion since door was opene…
