Expand the "And Stays" feature in RM 5.1

Hey,

I like the "And Stays" function under the triggers in Rule Machine 5.1. I would love to see this as an option under the Conditional Action. I have found that I would love that with motion, switches, water sensors, and so on.

Thanks!

I do that in several places in RM. Here is one example:

Is the wait for option not doing the trick for you?

That's for for an action, and not a Conditional Action...not quiet.

Can you post an example of how you would use this. I'm not sure how I understand it would work. If a conditional action had an 'and stays' then isn't that the same as @tivomaniac describes?

Wait for Expression with Duration is the and stays for for conditions.

I can post the rule, but it's incomplete. Here is what I'm trying to do: If there isn't any motion and a switch doesn't come one then run the action. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't think the Wait for Expression would work with two different types of actions (motion and a switch).

In general I often have a lot of different things happen in the event something doesn't happen for some time. For example if it stops raining and does start back up do XYZ. It would be easier if there was a "While it Says" in the Conditional Action.

Also, if there were a little more IFTTT things for Hubitat and Arlo I could also simplify some of these things.

Let me know if you need more info.

yes, sorry I didn't know that was possible.

No, timeout is different from duration. You want duration to get Stays in the condition.

Ya... that's what I get when I rush. :smiley:
