Looking for help...I have a zigbee water valve controller that identifies as a switch in HE that turns the water supply on to patio misters for people. I don't need any fancy triggers; I just want to use Google Home to turn the automation on and off whenever I tell it to...when I turn it on I want the valve to open for 1 minute and shut off for 5 minutes and repeat until I turn the automation off manually. I can make the on-off control work at the required times but I can't make it repeat indefinitely. Can someone help?
Here's a simple Rule Machine repeat loop that may be a place to start
IF (control is on) THEN
Repeat every 0:06:00 (stoppable)
On: Mister
Wait for event: --> elapsed time: 0:01:00
Off: Mister
END-REP
ELSE
Stop Repeating Actions
Off: Mister
END-IF
RM is nice as there are many ways to do the same thing. I would simplify @pseudonym’s recommendation with:
Trigger: Control button turns on
Actions:
While control is on repeate every 0:06:00
On: Mister
Wait for event: —> elapsed time: 0:01:00
Off: Mister
END-REP
