Rule Machine: IF mode changed from A to B?

[ritchierich]

Unfortunately this doesn’t exist but something that has been brought up several times. I had asked about it here:

[Released] Rule 4.0

I like the “changed” concept. Does this mean we will have access to the previous value so that can be included in the action condition? For example if mode changes... if current value is Day and previous value was Stay do this, if current value is Away and previous value was Cleaning do that, etc. Some state variables have more than 2 values and having access to the previous value would be awesome.

@bravenel mentioned he would consider it:

[Released] Rule 4.0

Not explicitly. However, this is an interesting idea that I will think about. The previous values are obviously stored.
