(Solution found) Rules are not triggered by "Changed to ON"

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime

Sorry… copied the wrong log entry:

This is the entry… so the problem remains.

2018-01-13 21:26:17.477 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - KG_Vorratsraum_SW_Motion_Alarm changed from NULL to ON

When I change the rule to

when Item KG_Vorratsraum_SW_Motion_Alarm RECEIVED UPDATE

the rule fires. It is confusing because it worked like this before.

Cheers

Can it be, that change of items from NULL to anything (ON, OFF, OPEN, CLOSED, …)will be ignored by rules?

Makes sence in case of system started because a lot of rules will fire if not.

Maybe the case but the same thing happens when the status changes from OFF to ON. I fixed the problem in the meantime by manually rewriting the rule directly in the Nano editor. Having done that, I do not get any parsing warnings anymore with exactly the same rule code. However, the rule now get triggered. Strange…
