Rule Help Please

📐 Rule Machine®

Can someone please help. Trying to learn RM (I'm coming from ST and webCore). I'm trying to make this in RM since I understand that's preferred over WC and can't for the life of me figure out how to start. I'm good at looking at rules and figuring out how folks did them, but can't figure out how to get this started. I also understand I could use Mode Manager, but I tried that too, and it didn't fire off like it should have.

execute
only when
Visitor's switch is off
if
Time is between 5:00:00 AM and 9:00:00 AM
then
ifend if;
if
Any of {Me}'s or {You}'s presence is present
then
withOffice Light Switchdo
Turn off;
end with;
Set location mode to Night;
Set Safety Monitor status to armHome;
else
Set Safety Monitor status to armAway;
Set location mode to Away;
with Office Light Switchdo
Turn on;
end with;
end if;
end if;

This is a pretty hefty rule. I am not sure of exactly when or how you want it to run. I took the assumption it should run when the presence status changes. If you also want it to run time based you can just add in those triggers. I think this would cover your use case.

Trigger:
Me or You any present

Action:
Cancel Delayed Actions
IF Time is 5 AM to 9AM then
  Office Light Turn Off
  Set Mode Night
  Set HSM armHome
Else IF time is 9A to 11P then
  Office Light Turn Off
  Set Mode Home
  Set HSM armHome
Else if 11P to 5A then
  Office Light Turn On
  Set Mode Night
  Set HSM armNight
End If
Wait for Condition Me or You All not present
IF Time is 5 AM to 9AM then
  Office Light Turn On
  Set Mode Away
  Set HSM armAway
Else IF time is 9A to 11P then
  Office Light Turn On
  Set Mode Away
  Set HSM armAway
Else if 11P to 5A then
  Office Light Turn On
  Set Mode Away
  Set HSM armaway
End If
Set mode Extended Away (delay 12 hours) Cancellable

(then just setup a rule that pauses this rule when the visitor switch is on. )

It might be more practical to set your modes based on time(you can use RM to make the rules to do this). Then you can set HSM based on the presence and mode

This piston actually works in conjunction with the piston below - or basically in opposite.

Any of Me or You presence changes to present
then
/* Disable the SHM /
Set Smart Home Monitor status to off;
/ The below IFs determine what mode to set the home /if /
Time is between 5:00:00 AM and 9:00:00 AM /
then
with / #110 /Camera Notificationsdo
Set location mode to Home;
Turn off;
end with;
end if;
if
Time is between 9:00:00 AM and 11:00:00 PM
then
with Camera Notificationsdo
Set location mode to Home;
Turn off; /
end with;
with {:9c1a65a6f2657bbe765e29899f032b89:}do
Turn off;
end with;
end if;
if
Time is between 11:00:00 PM and 5:00:00 AM
then
with Camera Notificationsdo
Set location mode to Night;
Turn on;
end with;
with {:9c1a65a6f2657bbe765e29899f032b89:}do

Any of Jerry's or Tanya's presence changes to not present /* #79 */

then

then

Totally newbie question -
how did you get the "any present"? My only choices are arrives or leaves.

5

Oh sorry....triggers are going to be based on the event so it will need to be

me or you any leaves

6

that's ok, but how did you get the any present? I don't see that anywhere in my choices

7

And what if no one actually leaves - we just "stay" at home. I basically want it to change based on time, not on presence. But presence plays into it as well....just not "arrives" or "leaves" but "present" when the time comes.

It might be best to write this as a series of rules.

Trigger: Time 5:00 AM

Action:
If {Me}'s or {You}'s presence any present
  Set Mode Night

Do this for each mode and then do this for away

Trigger: {Me}'s or {You}'s presence any leaves

Action:
Wait for condition {Me}'s or {You}'s presence all not present 
  set mode away
  Wait for condition {Me}'s or {You}'s presence any arrive
  If time between 5 and 9 
    set mode home
  else if between 9 and 11
    Set mode 
  else if for everything else you need.

Then in HSM you can set the alarm status based on the modes.
