I tried searching but did not find an answer.. If I am just bad at searching I apologize.
I am trying to get counts of specific state for devices in specific groups, it can be numbers like this:
- How many contacts in my perimiter are opened?
- How many lights in my interiors are on?
The list can go on.. It is mainly about a count of selected devices in specific states.
So far I figured out a way to achieve this is to setup rules like this:
Rule: counter_increase
Trigger: (ALL contact I care about) change to opened
Action: contact_opened_count add 1
Rule: counter_decrease
Trigger: (ALL contact I care about) change to closed
Action: contact_opened_count add -1
While this does work somewhat ok, I can kinda see there could be issue down the road - event that happened when device went offline won't get counted, when hub was reset the number could be off.. etc
I wonder is there a better way to achieve this?
Is there a way to "COUNT" device in specific condition, return an integer, and then I can set the outcome into a variable directly?
If there is not.. is there a way to add this feature?
