Rule Machine or Basic rule Question

📐 Rule Machine®
1

Hello all,
What I am trying to achieve, and I thought RM would be better as it is many steps.

In my Den.
I have a contact on the door that when opens I get notification.
so, my thoughts are:

  • when den opens and motion is detected, illuminance is below 10 light comes on above 55, it stays off.
  • when door shuts and not motion, light goes off.
  • Night mode set, den opens, light is dimmed to 5%
  • I do have a virtual switch so I can pause any and all rules, I typically use that if I am going into the den at night and I don't need light on.

I have a few of the rules within basic, but I was hoping to consolidate them.
I was hoping Visual Rules Builder would have helped, but that is limited.

So, basically, can this be done in RM or should I stick with basic rules?

Thank you in advance for any and all comments.

The Room Lighting app will probably be best for this.

What sensor are you using to detect the illuminance in your den? I have a similar rule in a bathroom but it is based off time of day not light level.

I have four of these in the house that work really well.
