So its Halloween time and i am wanting my front door kiosk to play a sound bite of Lurch from Addams family say "Yoooouuuu Rannnnggg" . I had a rule that just had it play when the door open but that gets a little annoying. I got a SAGE doorbell sensor off ebay for 6bucks and wired it up and setup in hubitat. Now i am trying to get a conditional rule to have the sound bite play as follows.
IF (Doorbell rings AND front door opens) THEN
Delay 3seconds
Play Sound Bite on front door KIOSK.
but everything i try does not work.
My guess is that you need a delay before testing that the front door is open, looks like only the "Beep" is delayed in the current rule.
Perhaps a good scenario to use a āWait for Eventā, the event being the door opened. Try to understand why and it will make using RM a breeze.
RM is running the Action immediately after the Trigger. When the bell rings, RM checks if the door is presently open. Itās not, so the Beep to your kiosk doesnāt happen.
Ok that makes sense why it wasn't working. So no need for if then stuff. Never tried the wait function.
Yep that was it works now thanks for the help
