Hello, i’m trying to make a rule to send a notification if an item stabilises on a value (ie if it repeats for say 10 times the same value) I’ve made a little led display to indicate if it is hotter outside than inside or the same or cooler or much cooler outside, and so my device i made displays a…

I think the easiest way is to create a counter item every time your color is updated you increase the value if it reaches a certain value 5 or something you do your action and reset it to 0. Another solution is to use persistance. you persist ervery update and at the desired point you retrieve the …

This one is a little tricky. I think the Latch design pattern would be the best approach. This looks like what you are trying to do. There are a couple of ways to implement this. I would probably use a timer. var Timer colourtimer = null rule "really changed?" when Item Esp_Colour changed then…

@Dibbler42 Thanks for this reply, this was my first instinct, for the counter, but i just couldn’t wrap my head around some of these rule syntax. I’ve just started my vacation, so i might try to do it as a counter and as Rich is suggesting in the following post and see which works best, or if there…

@rlkoshak Thanks again for this response to another one of my half baked rules. i think that’s the 4th time now that you’ve proposed a great solution or solutions! It will take me some time to process what you’ve written, but i’m here to learn. Just as a side note, there is some buffering between …

Hello again, So i tested both the timer based rules, but it’s not quite perfect… I’m finding some conditions where the rule is sending me a notification, and it’s just an update of the same previous colour. I think whats happening is that the same colour is qualifying through the rules, even thou…

For one: val String real_colour (Notice the capitalized “String”). Second: real_colour = Esp_Colour.state.toString Finally, just create a log statement to printthe current color and the last color in the logs. Don’t change the behavior of the rule until you understand what is really going on. I…

Hi, Good point about the white spaces, i had put logfile feedback, i found that it was working correctly, but my guess which completely could be wrong was that the rule was running, arriving with a colour and publishing it to my phone(say BLUE), then an errant value was triggering the rule but getti…

Found missing ( at start of if(Esp_Colour.state != real_colour)

Rule help to trigger if value repeats a certain number of times
