RM Example: Lights that fade down at sunset, fade up at sunrise, with manual override

I've seen a couple requests for more advanced use cases of RM, figured I'd post a couple of mine. What it does: Fade a dimmer down from 100% to 10% over the course of 30 minutes at sunset, and fade it back up over the course of 30 minutes at the later of sunrise or 6:00AM. If the light is turned off or someone manually overrides the light level during the fade period, fading stops to avoid "loss of manual control" frustration (AKA the WAF ). If the dimmer is off and turns back on, it goes…

Common RM patterns

Since joining HE some months back I have dipped my toe into RM several times and more recently had some success with using the local boolean to control the rules and get slightly more complex. The documentation is great at explaining the individual features but they are still quite hard to bolt together and understand how one feature will impact another. Could we as a community identify a set of 6-12 common patterns used to perform different tasks to help new-comers understand how to set up thes…

RM Example: Get a notification when Hot Tub is hot

Well I tested a rule and it's working as you describe. I must have had something wrong with my original rule, or maybe the water temp was bouncing right around my 99 degree condition and causing the rule to alternate between True and False.

RM Example: Use Google Assistant to run pool pump for 90 minutes (IFTTT/Cloud End Point)

I am posting this one mainly to show how to use IFTTT and the Hubitat Cloud End Point together. What it does When I do my weekly swimming pool service, I tell Google to "start pool service" . This runs the pool pump for 90 minutes so I can check for leaks and to disperse any chemicals I may have added or filter any dirt that I may have stirred up. How it works Google Assistant executes an IFTTT applet, which makes a web request to a Hubitat Cloud end point. This triggers a RM rule that turns…

RM Example: Outdoor lights on/off with conditions

Looks like we have a new Examples category, sweet! This is a fairly simple rule, but I'm posting as an example of a basic "complex" rule input. What it does Turns my back yard lights on at Sunset. They will remain on until at least midnight. Between midnight and Sunrise, it depends on if someone is awake (awake = Home mode). If mode is home, the lights will stay/turn on, otherwise they turn off. Scenarios Lights come on at sunset. If we go to bed before midnight, the lights will turn off at …

Is it possible to convert this webcore rule to RM?

RM Example: Using a virtual dimmer to store a variable value

There are probably a ton of use cases for something like this. For this example, Hubitat sends me hourly notifications showing how long the garage door has been open. It uses 2 rules: Increment the counter every hour while the garage door is open, reset to zero when it closes Send a notification when the count is incremented It also uses a virtual dimmer. In the example below the virtual dimmer is called "Garage Door Counter". After you create it, turn it on. Rule 1 - Increment the counter …
