Is it possible to delay triggering of an event?

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

Thanks @rlkoshak I’ll look into this and try and learn from you example how :slight_smile:

Oh well, my “fix” didn’t work.

But I think I found a solution. Been doing some debugging using ‘infoLog’. It is the createTimer that seems to not work everytime but after changing some code, it seems to have become stable.

Replaced this

if(tGarageDoor1 == null || tGarageDoor1.hasTerminated)

With

if(tGarageDoor2 != null) tGarageDoor2.cancel()  {          //Terminate timer if one is already started

So now the complete rule lookes like this

// This rule sends a telegram notification if garage door has been open for 30 min.
rule "Send telegram Notification | Garage door 2 open for 30 min."
when
	Item Garage_Port_2_State_Closed changed to CLOSED
then
	if(tGarageDoor2 != null) tGarageDoor2.cancel()  {          //Terminate timer if one is already started
		tGarageDoor2 = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(1), [|
			tGarageDoor2 = null
		sendTelegram((TelegramBots), (Message4))
		logInfo("TimerEnded", "Send telegram Notification | Garage door 2 open for 30 min.")
		])
		logInfo("TimerStarted", "Will send telegram Notification if garage door 2 is not closed within 30 min.")
	}
end

rule "Cancel telegram Notification | Garage door 2 open for 30 min."
when
	Item Garage_Port_2_State_Closed changed to OPEN
then
	if(tGarageDoor2 != null) tGarageDoor2.cancel() 		//Terminate timer if door is closed before the timer ends
end

I’ll keep an eye on things :slight_smile:
