No, not for every action. That doesn't make sense either. But one of the things that I am struggling with now that I have a lot more rules is that when I want to change something, I have to go into 20 rules to change it. That's really tough to manage. But if we were able to keep things within the same rule, then you only have one to go into. My example with the light for example, if the contact sensor for the front door changed, that would be 3 rules I have to go into to update rather than one. If it accomplishes the same thing and doesn't cause a lockup, I don't see the harm in doing it differently. After all, options are good, right?
Another thing that would help with the number of places to make a change would be Time Variables. For example, if i had a time variable set to Sunrise plus 20 minutes and then could write rules using that variable, if at some point I decided I wanted to change that to sunrise plus 30 minutes, I would only have to do it once vs in a dozen or so rules.
