Help with a Rule Machine Rule - Fan Activation on Schedule with Temp. Condition

All,
I could use some help writing a rule in Rule Machine. I'm hoping to be able to run a fan every 4 hours or so for a time period of 30 minutes. For example, at 6AM the fan will turn on for 30 minutes, turning off at 6:30, then fan would turn on again at 10AM, etc. The caveat is that it should not turn on if a sensor indicates the temperature is below a certain level. For example, say 6AM rolls around, rule checks temp, if >70 deg. F, then runs per schedule. If not, fan doesn't turn on, and waits for next scheduled run.

Thanks!

Use periodic schedule for the trigger. Use a simple condition to check temperature and exit rule if below 70. Try something like this

Trigger
Every 4 hours starting at 6:00 AM EDT

Action
If (Temp < 70) Exit Rule
On: Fan
Off: Fan --> Delay 0:30:00

Perfect, Iā€™ve plugged it in and currently testing.

Thanks!
