FYI, I opened a whole thread on this a while ago:

Clarification on Greater Than/Less Than Triggers in RM 4.0

I have a question on the Triggers in Rule Machine 4.0. For a temperature related trigger, the text on the screen says "temp becomes" but it appears through testing, it will happen whenever the temp reading reading is above that point. So, a trigger set to >= 80 would happen if the temp was 81 and became 82. This is a little confusing as the text displayed under the trigger says "becomes". [image] With this very simple RM4.0 rule, it happens if the temp reading goes from 81 to 82 and if it g…

Clarification on Greater Than/Less Than Triggers in RM 4.0

These words are basically arbitrary stabs at what is going on. A comparison trigger like this is going to fire on every temperature report. Do not read more into the word "becomes". If you want to only trigger something when the temperature becomes 80 but not 81, then why not just use temp = 80, instead of temp >= 80? That will trigger every time the temperature becomes 80. temp >= 80 will trigger every time the temperature is greater than or equal to 80. Each one is going to take a look …
