Rules Syntax question (random)

[pr0f (Branden Strickland)]

It was here

Virtual Item - What am I doing wrong?! [FIXED]

Hey Brandon, this is a bit confusing. Are you sure your item is defined in the system (check smarthome::items)? Also, are you sure your rule is executed at all? Add logging (as good practice) and check your logs: rule "Calculate Monthly Charge" when Time cron "5 * * * * ?" then { logInfo("RULE", "Calculate Monthly Charge") totalCost.postUpdate(500) } end tail -f /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log -f /var/log/openhab2/events.log

I figured if Thom did it It might be important!

As long as I’m not risking anything I guess 2 extra keystrokes saved is time saved eh!?

Thanks!
