Looking for some help, Still kinda new to this..
I have figured out how to pause a rule , but I see no option to "STOP" a rule.
I'm using a button, could someone show me how to STOP a rule ?
What do you mean by “stopping a rule”? Terminating the current execution, pausing/disabling the rule, or???
ok, so I'll give an example what I do..
if I push the button I want it to Stop an already created rule... for example, I have a rule already created to pause a rule for 15 minutes ... however I want to STOP a rule for 15 min, however I do not see that option, I only get a choice to pause it.
I have a SEND GET Command, and it dose not pause that command, but when I stop the rule it dose.
Well in your scenario you're pausing the rule for 15 mins is effectively stopping it. Putting the rule in pause IS stopping regardless of the time frame. For your send get, simply add a delay (lets say 5 seconds) that gives you time to pause/stop the rule before executing the send get command.
I'm kinda new to this, so I'm not really sure what you mean..
I have no problem pausing the rule for 15 min and auto restart after 15 min, however the GET Command I set dose not get paused, its sending motions to my Blue Iris server in paused state.
I have a rule to pause a rule.. it turns off the speaker plug in my house for 15 min so the dogs can do there stuff outside, I want to change this so it only stops the GET COMMAND so its not sending it to my blue iris... I only want to do this because I have more then one motion sensor and do not want to stop speaker sounds to all sensors..
Ok, so Really you need a conditional. Ilike If button pushed exit end if
that sounds like a better option, now to implement such a rule..
So here is my rule for a door left open. If goes into a loop if opened for more than 2 mins. I have a button (pico remote button) trip a virtual switch than when pressed stops the rule until the door is shut again. You could look at the button control portion and probably adapt it
that looks complicated, why can't I simply make a rule to stop a rule completely...
for example if I go into a rule and push the stop button the rule never sends the GET ... however if I pause the rule it still sends the GET command when motion is detected ,,
I'm almost wondering if there is a bug in the pause mode because it still sends the GET even after paused .
maybe I should be asking this; maybe there is a bug in the pause mode... because the GET command still sends GET Commands to my Blue Irus even when the rule is paused ...
shouldn't the GET command be paused also?
You could add the delay before the send get to pause the rule. That way it will pause before the send get gets sent. Though that will pause the whole thing not just part of it. If you only want to pause part of it you will have to do conditionals...
thank you, i'll look into doing that... question, what dose owner mean beside your nickname ?
That I'm a hub owner... The forums assign different labels based on your postings

The other option is to break your rule up so that particular sensor is seperate so when you do pause, the others aren't affected. That might be the simpler way
