Trouble with Shutter rules since OH 2.3

I thought, it would be helpfull, if so many rules get triggered on the same event, I spread them a little over time, so OH can handle all this rule-triggerings.

OK, if that is the case then spreading them out actually causes more problems, not fewer. You can see (OH 1.x and OH 2.x Rules DSL only] Why have my Rules stopped running? Why Thread::sleep is a bad idea for the full explanations.The tl;dr is you only get five Rules that can run at the same time. The longer your Rules run, the more likely you will encounter a situation where all five threads are in use meaning no new Rules can run.

I guess, I can extend your example-rule with a second array for deactivating Sunprotection and complete the if-clauses with the deactivations?

I was wondering about how you close them. Yes indeed you can add to the Rule for closing. Duplicate the middle section by creating another List and adding those Items that need to be closed under whatever your conditions are. Then duplicate the filter and forEach on this new list, sending OFF instead of ON and with the appropriate log statement.

Your way of programming is very impressive to me and its a honor to learn from you.

It is a style of programming Rules that has developed over time. I’ve picked up a lot of tips and tricks along the way from many other users on this forum. Keep at it and I bet you’ll discover some new trick I’ve never thought of and I’ll learn from you.
