Attribute Value Less Than X for Y Mins

[neonturbo]

There is a community app that will do this without rule machine. Search for "Better Laundry Monitor". It has the options to count the cycles like you want.

Otherwise maybe use private boolean? I have a similar example in another thread but the short version is:

Trigger: Washing Machine Outlet CHANGED
Action:

• IF power level of washing machine > 10
• THEN set private boolean to TRUE
• ELSE IF power level of washing machine < 0.5
• THEN set private boolean to FALSE
• END IF

I did this in a separate rule first, then gave the second rule permission to use this private boolean output. You would probably want to add some delays (I think immediately after the first THEN?) , that would take care of most of the cycling.

Couple links that may help. The first is my private boolean rule, the second link explains the delays and cancels better than I can.

Will this rule work as intended? Washer on changes water heater mode

Hello, can someone give some input to whether this will do what I want? Here is what I am trying to do. When the wash machine power goes up, I want to put the water heater into high demand mode. Once the power level goes down (to basically zero) , and after a period of time, switch back to Heat Pump mode. I was trying to decide how to handle the delays. I am not positive this will give me what I want. I don't want this to bounce back and forth between modes while power is active. It would b…

[Released] Rule 4.0

Rule 4.0 -- The new Rule Machine Rule 4.0 is the culmination of a journey in the transformation of Rule Machine. At once it simplifies and adds power, resulting in a fully generalized automation engine. The prior top-level organization of RM is thrown out, replaced by a simpler interface. The changes are described below, and how what was done in prior versions is now accomplished. Gone are Rules, Triggers, Triggered Rules, Actions and Schedules. Instead, you define what causes a rule to run…
