Actually, I pay attention to these comments. In response to this and prior comments about RM, a number of changes have been undertaken:
-
Actions UI is now up to date wrt to any device name changes or deletions, at the top level of a rule as well as deeper into the action selection. This was released in 2.0.5.
-
Conditions / trigger events definition is being completely reworked, and will feature a much more streamlined process. This includes the ability to remove conditions cleanly and easily. So if one is messed up, it will be easy to redo it. This will be in release 2.0.7.
-
Rule definition is being completely reworked as well, and will feature a much cleaner streamlined process. It will no longer be possible to mess up a rule by trying to change parts of it. The display of the rule as it's built will be much more evident, with the page not scrolling down and down as the rule grows. No more little questions for Not and sub-rules, end of sub-rules, etc. And, there will be an Erase Rule button, that wipes the slate and allows easy re-do of a messed up rule. I've been using this for a few weeks now, and it is vastly superior to the current mess for rule definition. This will be in release 2.0.7.
All in all, once 2.0.7 is released you will find a greatly improved Rule Machine, minus most of the rough edges previously commented on.
