Can system start up trigger a rule/action?

[kampto]

When power gets restored after an outage some devices revert or go to an undesirable state. Is there a way I can create a rule that at hub start-up immediately runs some actions? Currently im using a rule with periodic triggers like every 30min to check and set states of outlets and switches.

Believe that RM and webCoRE both have a System Start trigger that can fire a rule/piston.

Yeah, in Rule Machine, you can create a trigger with capability "Location Event" and event "systemStart."

Here is a example.

[Project] Startup Check

Hi! I want to build an app for myself but i have no idea on how to do it My situation: We have the occasional power outage where we live and most of our bulbs turn on full bright when the power comes back on. My solution: I have created a rule that when hubitat starts, if checks chosen bulbs, and if they have "switch: off" then send off signal. This means that if the bulbs where turned of before the power outage then they should still be turned off when the power comes back …

Awesome! Rule made..

Power just came back on and none of the actions were completed. Looking at logs it didn't even try. Do I need a delay in the beginning of the actions to give it time to initialize?
