It drives me insane

Using opehab 2.5 m2 on raspberryPi 3b.

I don’t recall seeing an announcement for M2. Did you mean M1 or the daily SNAPSHOTS?

Even though it’s a short Rule, please How to use code fences.

@khakzoy

Now this rule triggers allways when I come home. It does not look at the sleep switch, it does not check the nightstate, it just switches on. I searched the whole site and forum but I cannot find what I am doing wrong here.

Add logging to verify that Slaapstand is indeed OFF and NightState is indeed ON. If either or both of them are in any other state then the Rule will exit without doing anything.

@khakzoy

Can the ‘rules’ section on the website be expanded with more information? Info about checkin for .state on items etc. Now I have to go through a lot of forum post just to get a simple rule working. I think a few more cases and examples would really cut down requests on the forum.

It could but there is nothing syntactically wrong with your Rule. If the Rule is triggering when it should then the problem is one or both of your Items in the if statement are not in the checked for state. No amount of examples will have helped with this problem.

When a Rule doesn’t work:

• log everything
• assume nothing
• simplify to something that works and build it back up little by little.
