Item.state changed but rule doesn't fire?

Hi, I have rule with this trigger:

when
Item NumberItem.state changed or SwitchItem.state changed
then

I did expect this rule to trigger when NumberItem gets a new value, however it doesn’t. I tried it with recieved update, that works, however it triggers each time the item gets an update, even even the value doesn’t change.

Try without the .state suffixes, these are not usually used in rule triggers.

Hopefully your secret Items have names different to the ones you show us here?

Thanks, will try that after the vacation.

Yes, I do use different names for my Items. Those names do tell me something, but not necessarily the type of the item. However the type of item is of more interest then the actual name for helping me with my problem.
Thanks again.

Works like a charm!
