How trigger a Rule only when a device exceeded a threshold

@bravenel

Poor subject description but in the below thread it showed me that the trigger in the rule will trigger anytime a device reading is received > than some value.

That being the case is there a trigger definition that will trigger only on becoming > than some number? Or must we use a PB to keep track of our > state?

If this is indeed the case shouldn't the "becomes" be changed to "is"?

Yeah, the wording isn't quite right. But "is" isn't right either. Maybe "reports"?

Nope.

In my opinion, yes.

"Reports" sounds intuitive :slight_smile:

Or "updates and is", to make it more human english readable.

But "reports" works too.

It's a one word change to the app.

"is" applies for a condition. "temperature is > 70"
"reports" applies for an event. "temperature reports > 70"
