Group rules trigger

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

@5iver this would sure trigger when the state is updated.

Then the design is somehow not as i would expect it. On Trigger RECEIVED COMMAND i expect to be able to read out the command which triggered the change. This is solved by the implicite variable, but somehow not intuitiv, IMHO.

  1. A different question comes up then: the rule gets executetd multiple times when the group triggers the change of the members. And multiple times as the members updating the group.

  2. I would have wished that a group change would just do a postUpdate of the member. So when using changed you may trigger the rule when members get updated by the group, and using received command you may trigger when actually a command was issued.

rule "Single Plug"
  when
    Item member_1 changed or
    Item member_2 changed or
    Item member_3 changed or
    Item member_4 changed or
    Item group changed 
  then
    logInfo("GroupTest", "Member " + triggeringItem.name + " to " + receivedCommand)
 end
