Bruce, yes, clicking on Actions from the main page and no, nothing gets me out of adding And/Or/XOR, in fact I have added several as you can see above and each time, I am brought back to adding more of them.
My concern is this. I now have other rules exhibiting this same behavior and they haven't been touched in weeks. Something is really a miss here
Well, something has to make it run. Conditions by themselves in the actions are evaluated when the rule runs. So there are two possibilities: a Trigger Event makes it run or another rule causes it to run.
In the case you show, you need a Trigger Event of Virtual Switch changed. If you had put that in first, it would have created the "If Virtual Switch is ON" condition for you automatically, and you could just pick that when creating the conditional action. It all depends: What is supposed to make this rule run? The switch turning on, or the presence arriving, both? or at 5am? 20 minutes before sunset? Obviously, you need to decide what causes it to run.
Sounds like something is messed up. When did this start?
Please make an identical rule from scratch for one of the ones that has this issue. And then see if it exhibits this problem or not. Also, for one that has this problem, show screenshots of the app status page (preferably by PM).
This harks back to Rule 3.0, the way a Rule works there. Have you tried doing that? There, you would put in the conditions as you've shown, and Actions for True and Actions for False, and it would automatically run when those conditions change. Some people find this a more natural way to express a rule than 4.0, where it is pretty bare bones, forcing you to be explicit about what makes it run.
I recreated this rule, no issues at this point.
This all started this morning when I was editing the If/Then statement in the rule I sent you via PM. I hit done at some point and remember it took like 20 seconds for the page to refresh, then the issue started.
I had this issue early on with RM 4, reported it and it was suggested to delete the rule and start over.
A XOR B XOR C means (A XOR B) XOR C. (A XOR B) is true only if just one of A or B is true. Suppose one is, then (...) XOR C would only be true if just one is true. Etc.
A OR B OR C is true if ANY is true.
A AND B AND C is true if ALL are true.
A XOR B XOR C is true if just one is true.
