Can someone assist me with this rule machine rule that is not triggering appropriately. I would like a recirculating pump to run between these specific times for only 3 minutes every 15 minutes.
I have two rules written as follows. I am a complete novice with rule machine but this is what I have.
Second rule
Thank you in advance for assistance.
If I am understanding you correctly, you want your recirculating pump to turn on for 3 minutes every 15 minutes. Further, this should only occur under these conditions:
If all that is correct, you need a single short rule, like the one shown below:
Succinct.
Tell me, does 'command only' save anything? I've never used it. Thanks.
Thank you. This is very straightforward. I was making it too complex.
We've all been there once. I hope the rule was helpful.
Yes. It saves the hub a smidgen of processing time. More useful when there are multiple devices being controlled. But by force of habit, I tend to use it even for simple needs.
But with a potential downside if the device’s actual state is out of sync with the hub for some reason
Another way to do this with motion sensors and a temp sensor on the recirc line. Temp is relative, just a sensor taped to the recirc line near the pump. I have a separate rule that disables the pump if the temp gets above the desired range.
