I have a rule in rule machine that turns off the landscape lighting at 11:30PM only if the pool lights are off. I added a WHILE loop that runs every 15 minutes if the landscape lighting is on. What I’m wondering is when this WHILE loop runs does the condition to turn the lighting off get checked? Or is this action completely separate?
Please post a screenshot of your rule. Very hard to provide useful info without a full understanding of what you're trying to accomplish.
One way to accomplish what I think you're trying to achieve would be something like this.
Trigger:
Specific Time at 11:30 pm
Actions:
If Pool Light = Off Then
Turn Off Landscape Light
Else
Wait for Pool Light = Off
Turn Off Landscape Light
EndIf
Something like the above is much more efficient than adding a looping mechanism to your rule.
Cool. I’ll see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion.
