A Variable range clipper action in a rule. e.g.
I make not be understanding this one but, as in it may already be implemented in another way
Could we have a for loop in a rule?
JSON notation in rules e.g.
What about a MAP function like Arduino very handy e.g.
I really like what you guys have done with the product, particularly it seems to be much faster since the last update. I started my home automation in Node-Red and wanted a higher level system. Hubitat does that well.
Loops are the repeats. And you can set up a repeat to repeat the actions a certain number of times. That's basically a for loop, they even call it that in the documentation.
you could do this with a repeat, a local variable, and multiple if statments
local variable = 1
Repeat 5 times
IF local variable = 1 THEN A
IF local variable = 2 THEN B
IF local variable = 3 THEN C
IF local variable = 4 THEN D
IF local variable = 5 THEN E
local variable +1
END REP
definitely not trying to start an argument, just wanted to offer my take on the solution since you did ask if it was possible
as a person who did coding while in school, i definitely agree a FOR loop would be helpful, but being exposed to different things through my career, it has also helped me think different when approaching different problems
in regards to RM, it might be a limitation of the backend. typically when i come across that, i just find some way to make it work and test the hell out of it while i'm building it (lead to about 20 revisions to a rule i use to control my blinds)
there are alternatives though if RM isn't a viable option for you (i personally don't use them, but doesn't hurt to check out). i've seen others mention using Node Red or WebCore
While I do see the screenshots of the rule in your original post, could you explain a bit more as to what you're trying to achieve? Maybe we can come up with some alternatives while staff hopefully expands the capabilities of RM
