Run multiple instances of rule concurrently from multiple triggers

[rhys]

Hi, I’m trying to see if I can make one rule instead of many here.

Objective: If one of the outside lights is left on for 20 minutes, send a notification to the switch to make it blink. (It is currently set to 1:10 for testing.)

The issue I’m having is that if multiple lights are left on, I want each of them to get the notification separately after 20 minutes. Currently, the rule doesn’t start a new event because one of the triggering lights is already on, so the condition is already satisfied.

Is there a way to make it respond with a separate instance for each device, or do I need to make multiple rules, one for each device?

Thanks, Here’s my rule:

As you are only talking about 3 lights, why not just have a rule for each light. I know you said you could do this, so why not.
Makes things easier for troubleshooting etc.
Just my humble opinion.

As above - I'd just do 3 rules on this occasion.

I'm still building, it's going to end up being 5, which is still manageable, just already have a lot of rules and trying to keep it lean.

Tried this just now. Same results. I guess it will just be separate rules. I'll check back in case someone else has a good idea later.
