Simple Garage Door Rule Not Working

[mluck]

I consider myself pretty decent with RM. Here is a very simple rule. It opens the garage when I arrive, and closes the garage behind me when I depart. It also notifies me (because there are similar rules for all members of the family).

For some reason, the rule doesn't trigger when I depart (see log below at 09:45), even though the presence sensor was "Present" immediately prior to my departure -- the log shows I departed but the rule never triggers. When I arrive at 09:46, the rule triggers no problem and behaves as expected. Here's the rule, and log is below. I'm mystified. It's gotta be something so obvious that it's staring me in the face.

It's the and in the last else
As its not closing it evaluates as false so doesn't send close

Should be an or?

I have had rules that didn't seem to work right with changed. Try using two triggers, One for arrival and one for departed.

Hmmm, I'm not sure this is right. The logic is saying "if the door is NOT closed AND the door is NOT closing, then close the door. Two not's combined with an AND is the right boolean logic for "NEITHER", correct?

Good idea. Will try this. Shouldn't need to. But hey I'll try anything.

EDIT: It worked. Weird. Thanks @terminal3!
