Question about hub Variable and Wait for condition

📐 Rule Machine®

So I understand why I can not use a Hub variable as a wait for event as they do not generate an event. I figured, however, I could use them in a wait for condition, but variable is not an option.

You can use a local variable in a wait for condition in RM Legacy, but not in RM5, nor a Hub variable. Is this by design?

I realize you can make them connectors but I didn't think that would be necessary for a condition only an event.

Just curious.

I don't think it makes sense to wait on a local variable. It can only be changed by that rule, by definition. A connector, of course, lets you change it from anywhere, but then you have a connector/device and can use that instead.

My guess as to why you can't. :slight_smile:

True, it's not a big deal it's just a little easier to select a variable in a condition than a custom attribute.
