Conditional Triggers in Rule 5.1 - multiple conditions for a trigger?

I don't know how you are using the switch.

I guess, I already explained this.
Something in the small separate rule (MS, Button or whatever else) sets a VT to ON.
This triggers main rule which must be protected from re-triggering. At the end main rule resets a VT to the OFF.

Yes, using Hub Variable will do the same job and sometime I am using Hub Variables for the same reason. VT is used if I may need it on the Dashboard.

Currently, this is not the case for Private Boolean used as a Trigger.

Did I say this somewhere?
No, I never was even thinking about using PB as a Trigger.
I tried to use a PB for preventing rule re-triggering but only in the Required Expression.
Unfortunately I never seen a suggested expression as a first action (somehow I missed this):
IF(PrivateBoolean false) Exit Rule

I don't know how you are using the switch.

Just in case here is an example how VT is used as a Trigger and Status for rules synchronization:

Main rule for opening balcony door (VT is a trigger) :

Main rule for closing balcony door (VT is a trigger) :

And a complementary rule for opening/closing balcony door
(Set the appropriate VT for triggering one of the main rules and uses both VTs a Status for Done condition):

All Triger VTs are used elsewhere else (few remotes and dashboards).
