The easiest way to wrap your head around this is to think about restrictions: "Only run this rule if its Wednesday". A restriction in 3.0 wouldn't in and of itself cause anything to happen, it just was a pre-condition that had to be true for the rule to run at all. Predicate Condition = Pre-Condition. When it became Wednesday, the rule wouldn't say "Restricted" anymore, and it would run whenever it was supposed to run -- but it didn't run when the day changed from Tuesday to Wednesday. You will see something similar with Predicate Conditions: if they are false, the rule will show "Predicate Condition False" -- meaning, it isn't going to run.

[BETA] Simple State Machines

Simple State Machines for Hubitat *** BETA *** Create state machines in Hubitat! *** This is a BETA *** I have not yet written up detailed instructions on install. This is a BETA, and should only be used by those already familiar with custom apps and drivers in Hubitat. There are two custom apps and two drivers to install. The best way to learn how to use this is to watch a Youtube video I made of it. The first 5 minutes are explaining the concepts. Skip to 5:03 if you just want to see…
