Help with the Creation of a Rule - to help with A/C Bill

So the goal of the rule was to set my Nest Thermostats to ECO Mode should any of door/window open and remain open for 3 minutes when the same door is thereafter closed, the A/C resumes.

This rule (below) largely works within a vacuum but I need help to make it work perfectly. So here is the example.

Door 1 is open and stays open for 3 minutes. The A/C gets set to ECO Mode. While Door 1 is open, somebody opens and closes Door 2. This causes the A/C to resume.

In your resume trigger. Change from Any to all. So that all of those will need to be closed before the actions will trigger.

Do you really need 2 rules for this? Can't it be as simple as:

Condition:

  • Any of (list) contact open

Rule:

  • Any of (list) contact open

Actions when true:

  • Delay 3 minutes (Cancel)
  • Send notification
  • Set eco mode

Actions when false:

  • Send notification
  • Set cool mode

Sine you want any for true and all for false it needs to be two rules, I think.

Not sure if this helps but I use this to turn my heating down if a door is left open.
When it's closed, it turns it back on again.
This should give you ideas anyway.

The opposite of "any open" is "all closed".

Any open = True

NOT(Any open) = All closed = False.

Aah yeah, I was still think in two rules and that he needed an all for the false trigger rule.

For triggers, there's no option to select "all", since they are events and not states.
