And, because this might be an XY Problem, there are a couple of other ways you can achieve this.

1. The Follow Profile, no rule required. [Items | openHAB](https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/items.html#profiles)

2. The Debounce rule template on the marketplace, no coding required but you will have to add Item metadata. To get a straight passthrough, just use ‘0s’ as the debounce time. [Debounce [3.2.0;3.4.9]](https://community.openhab.org/t/debounce/128048)
