Rule Machine

I am trying to make an app for my door lock. At 3:52 pm if the lock is unlocked I want it to lock. Also to be notified to my phone at 3;52 that the door is locked. I do have pushover . Here are my screenshots. Neither worked. What am I doing wrong.




For the rule:

Trigger - Certain Time 3:52
Actions

  • If door is unlocked, lock door
  • notify 'door is locked'
  • end if

You have defined the conditions, but you haven't used them yet. You need to add them to some logic using If..Then.

I have never programmed. How do I add that in the RM app?

I'm not a programmer either, but a basic understanding of logic principles (e.g. If-Then stmts) helps when building rules.

The Hubitat documentation for RM is a great place to start with understanding how it works.

ETA - unless you want a notification every time the door locks, you don't need to set that up in the Notifier app. The notification for this one circumstance can be built right into the rule itself (as JW's simplified rule example indicates).
