My rule "when a trigger channel fires" does not trigger

[dniklas1 (Daniel)]

Ok, the solution for this question here is: the Channel has to be an event Channel, not a State Channel. Thanks @rlkoshak

When choosing the thing astro:sun:local, then the ui is working fine, too:

Overall event Channels seems to be quite rare. For example the channel motionAlarm (ipCameraBinding) is a switch, too.

What HA does in this reguard is irrelevant to how OH models the interaction.

Thats is absolutely true and I’m also aware of it. Sometimes it’s interesting to see how others do it.

Thanks for all your help. I will close this thread and go back to my somrig problem.
