Hi everyone I’m having trouble getting my location rule working it’s sent from IFTTT on mobile phone, Openhab does receive the updates but my rule is not right so nothing happens.

OPENHAB Setting:
AaronGEO is a string item

MY rule below:

rule "Aaron Presence2" 

when
    Item Aaron_GEO changed
then
    if(Aaron_GEO.state == Aaron entered area home) {
       Aarons_Home.sendCommand ("ON")
       logInfo("Rule", "Aaron Home")
       }
    if( Aaron_GEO.state == Aaron exited area home ) {
        Aarons_Home.sendCommand("OFF")
        logInfo("Rule", "Aaron Left")
       }
end

Your item is a String so it’s states are going to be strings. String are defined in ""
Aarons_Home is a Switch and therefore accepts the commands ON and OFF without ""

rule "Aaron Presence2" 

when
    Item Aaron_GEO changed
then
    if(Aaron_GEO.state == "Aaron entered area home") {
        Aarons_Home.sendCommand (ON)
        logInfo("Rule", "Aaron Home")
    }
    if( Aaron_GEO.state == "Aaron exited area home") {
        Aarons_Home.sendCommand(OFF)
        logInfo("Rule", "Aaron Left")
    }
end
