I have a trigger to periodic 10 minutes.
But scheduling show it's running once per hour.
I had the same confusion initially till I realized it meant that the event will be triggered on the 10th minute of every hour.
1:10
2:10
3:10

definately a bug here. I have another trigger on periodic of 1 minutes but it did it in 1 hour interval instead
Not sure I understand. It's always a 1 hour interval. It should trigger on the 1 minute mark of every hour.
1:01
2:01
3:01
so you can't just do 5 minutes ?
Let us know exactly what you are trying to accomplish and we can help you setup a rule for it. It seems like you really want to setup an action that runs every so often. Under the "Actions ---> Delay or Repeat These Actions" might be the better spot for you to configure these actions.
I think of this as 'Hourly, on minute xx'
to do "every X" use "repeating"
Private Boolean is always initialized as True, so this Rule is always active.
I personally like having both mechanisms. If I want something to happen "every 20 mins" I can do the math myself and select minute 20, minute 40 and minute 60 each hour. THEN so as to not crowd my ZWave network, I can do another that goes every 20 mins, just not the same 20.. as in minute 22, minute 42 and then minute 62 (yes, actually minute 2). Or 18, 38, and 58
