I’ve created two rules to trigger an alert and then stop the alert upon the occurrence of a trigger.
The first rule only triggers upon the private Boolean being true.
The second evaluates the first rule and only triggers when the first rule evaluates as true.
Take a look at the screen shots. The first rule evaluates as false, but the second rule shows the Rule Truth to be true?
Believe me, its me doing something wrong, I just can’t figure out what I am doing incorrect.
I'm pretty sure the problem is that triggered conditions are only evaluated at the time of the trigger.
You would need to create a standalone condition that is constantly evaluated.
Yes... but the trigger happens any time there is motion. There is always motion, so the condition should have changed to False.
I see your point, but I think the problem is that since you are asking the rule to evaluate the truth of a rule condition, that rule actually needs to be a condition not a triggered condition, I use rule truths in many of my rules, but I haven't tried using a rule truth of a triggered condition. Hopefully @bravenel can chime in to clarify this.
I suggest that you change the rule "Stop the Kitchen Door Announcement" from a triggered rule to a rule. Just put trigger event in as a condition, and make the rule be both conditions with AND.
See if that works.
If there is always motion, then there is no trigger. A trigger of motion active is when the motion changes from Inactive to Active. So, if your sensor always reads active, there is no trigger for the rule to respond to.
