You’d have to Setup a Proxy switch item (e.g. Use of television), which gets set to ON, everytime you interact. after your expire time, if the item gets an automatic OFF from the binding, you can Switch off the TV.
nope. this won’t work - the rule-engine needs some distinct event for two reasons:
it uses way less memory and CPU
it’s getting way more complicated for the developers and for us users.
So - the expire-binding is what you want - trust me!
rule "Test"
when
Item ProxyTV changed to OFF
then
sendCommand(TVItem, OFF)
end
So, if your ProxyTV item receives the OFF-command - your TVItem will also be OFF. Now you have to write some rule(s) for updating the ProxyTV item, everytime you interact with your TV. everytime an item receives an command, the expire-trigger will be reset.
