I need help with a Rule or even a better way to accomplish this.
Need: When I go to arm HSM, there are times a door or a window is open. Because of the way HSM works, I don't get a notification of this until after I attempt to arm HSM - often minutes later. To avoid this, I would like to have a single dashboard tile (right next to the HSM tile) showing if any window/door contact is open.
Setup:
I created the following rule - Rule Name - Open Sensor
Select Trigger Events
Door - Back, Door - Garage, Door - Front, Window - Dining Room - 1, Window - Dining Room - 2, Window - Dining Room - 3, Window - Breakfast - 1, Window - Breakfast - 2, Window - Spare Bath, Window - Office 2, Window - Office 1, Window - Office 3, Window - Office 4, Window - Laundry Room 1, Window - Spare Bedroom 1, Window - Spare Bedroom 2, Window - Laundry Room 2, Door - Garage Car, Door - Master Outside any changed
Select Actions to Run
IF (Door - Back, Door - Garage, Door - Front, Window - Dining Room - 1, Window - Dining Room - 2, Window - Dining Room - 3, Window - Breakfast - 1, Window - Breakfast - 2, Window - Spare Bath, Window - Office 2, Window - Office 1, Window - Office 3, Window - Office 4, Window - Laundry Room 1, Window - Spare Bedroom 1, Window - Spare Bedroom 2, Window - Laundry Room 2, Door - Garage Car, Door - Master Outside any open(F) [FALSE]) THEN
Set Open Sensor to true
ELSE
Set Open Sensor to false
END-IF
A local variable is setup as follows
|Open Sensor|Boolean|Contact Sensor|false
The Device - Rule Machine Connectors - Open Sensor is automatically setup
Here is my issue
If I have all contacts currently closed, the log entries appear to reflect the process working. The local variable is set to false. If I open anything, the process correctly sets the local variable to true. Unfortunately once it is set to true - it will never reset to false.

Notice
The device is still set to open - even though the rule set it to false (12:51:44.553), the device was Opened 12:51:44.622
