- Issue of the topic:
I am working on the next generation rule and realized the compare does not work:
New rule engine:
- Click
+
underbut only if
: - Use
an item has a given state
- Item:
current temperature
from the following binding:
- Operator:
>
- State: 76
Basically, I want to trigger the but only if
condition when temperature coming from the weather forecast source is larger than 76F.
But it NEVER WORKS.
I am assuming what I did is what an average user would reasonably assume.
- I saw the temperature in the paper UI control panel as being 76F. I assume the system is comparing using F not C.
- I saw the provided operator
<
,>
,=
, etc. I assume it is OK to compare numerical values. - I assume the temperature is numerical, not a string.
So my question is:
- What did I miss?
- What else do I need to do to make it work?
- Is there a documentation that I can refer to?
Thank you for any help!
