Run a Different Rule

Would there be an advantage in HE to be able to "Run Another Rule" as an action?

You can easily set the "Private Boolean" of another rule as an action, if desired. You might also be able to use the Global Variables to trigger another rule.

What scenario would you like this functionality for?

Nothing in particular just wondering if it can be done. It is a useful tool in HS and used a lot. They have a specific selection called "Run Another Event" and you can choose the event. They use it to tie two events together instead of a manual or virtual trigger.

You can run the actions of another rule or evaluate another rule from a rule in Rule Machine.

I have several RM actions setup for reusable situations like mode going to night or away or morning routines. In both cases a certain set of devices turns off but with away more turn off. So I have a reusable action rule with the shared devices that 2 different rules execute. The nice thing with these is the restrictions are evaluated too.
