Hi all, I am trying to set up a very simple notification based on outlet's power monitor. When power moves from above 10W to below 10W, I want Hubitat to ping me. Notifier app doesn't seem to support power monitors and Rule Machine seems to have limited trigger options - only when value is below c…

Close! The biggest problem is that your actions will get stuck in that repeat with no way to get out. You need to have some way to stop the notification that is "accessible" from within your repeat. I often refer people to this post, which has several examples of how to do exactly this, for good inf…

[image] bertabcd1234: Close! Thanks so much @bertabcd1234 ! Brilliant stuff. The bit that I was missing is my (mis-)understanding about the sequence of how the rule is being 'loaded' / read. Basically it won't move on from the repeat loop until the loop itself provides a way of getting out …

That looks good to me! (With the one change you could make being the one you just mentioned.) I should warn that it's completely un-tested by me, but I think it should work... :slight_smile:

So I've made a couple of further tweaks to the rule: Added a condition that skips the first repeat notification, inspired by the post that you linked @bertabcd1234 . So now I have two different messages for when the laundry is done initially and then reminder 5min after (rather than 2x messages a…

More than one notification on stuff like this has very low waf in our house.

Hi all, I haven't been on the forum for a while now -- after my initial Hubitat setup I just let it run without any issues -- what a joy! However, recently my 'washer is done' rule broke -- I've tried tweaking different things, re-write the rule in the latest Rule Machine 5.1, etc. but nothing seem…

I can't see anything that stands out as wrong there, though technically you don't need the "stoppable" flag set on that Repeat (it will stop whenever the simple condition you have attached to it is no longer true--and there's nowhere that you explicitly stop it, anyway). It looks like that's about w…

Thanks a lot! I will remove it and test it again, but as you say, I don't believe it should impact the rule... Looking at my log, do you know what that top error might mean? It feels like this is the cause for error...

That kind of error is hard for the community to troubleshoot--the "line 7542" thing refers to the Rule Machine code (which we can't see), not your Rule itself, and nothing in your Rule looks off to me (which might otherwise cause something like this--maybe a blank value where it's expecting a number…

This works great, thank you. We put our wash in at night, before bed, to save on electricity costs. Is there a way to NOT notify me during say 9:30-7:00AM, but then after 7AM, it sends out notification, that the wash is done?
