Avoid using sensors that have recurring value reports in trigger conditions (orig: Temperature set point trigger doesn't seem to fire)

So, I tried the following and quickly discovered it will wait forever if false and any new temperature reports will result in a new instance that will also wait forever...

As I learned (re-learned) this is where you are suppose to set a Private Boolean to avoid re-triggering the rule as described here:

Prevent simultaneous triggers from initiating multiple instances of rule

Hey folks - I have a rule that reminds me that my garage doors are open. I have two garage doors, and opening either triggers the rule to start repeating. Every 30 minutes (starting 15 minutes after the door is opened), I get a message on my phone to remind me that the doors are open. This works great, unless I open both garage doors at the same time. This sometimes causes multiple instances of the rule to run simultaneously, leading to multiple alerts happening every 30 minutes. Any thoughts t…

Even still, from what I've experienced with a much simpler app than yours'... I'd be scared-to-death to trust fail-safe outcomes dealing with the systems you've built your rule for!
