Hi, I am having some trouble setting up RM with restrictions, the rule ruin fine but not by the restriction set, here is what I have setup.
IF (front door is unlocked by (code ***1, John; code ***2, Martinez)) THEN (Turn switch on, (Foyer, Hall, Master)) BUT (Time between Sunset-60 minutes and Sunrise)
Lights go on every time those user codes is punch in , no matter what time of the day or night.
Please advise.
Thank you.
What version are you running? Restrictions were retired a while ago.
Your time restriction should be part of your IF statement.
IF
Door unlocked etc. etc.
AND
Time between
THEN
Turn on lights.
END-IF
I run the RM 4.0, and I meant conditions, Sorry.
I sorry, I didn't find where to locate the (AND Time between) will that be a capability for new Event Trigger?
When you select action to run you then have various options.
Select conditional actions.
Then IF THEN
This is where you can build your conditions/expressions.
If you are new to HE I would suggest you read the RM4.0 documentation to get some good ideas.
Got done, Thank you very much.
Wait, there's a BUT in RM?
You cannot trigger based on a time between two points. You can only have a trigger at a specific point in time. Triggers are events. The time being 9pm is a tigger. The time being between 9 and 10 pm is a condition. So, if you want to have a rule do something at 9pm and 10pm, you have to triggger it at both time. So, if you want a light to turn on at the start of a range and off at the end, you have to trigger at the beginning and end of the range and then have a condition of time between those two points. Otherwise the rule will not work how you intend.
Got it working
Thank you all
