Temp Change Trigger Events Buggy

1

I generally use Temperature Triggers Events with a Periodic Trigger Event just in case, but I decided to remove the Periodic Trigger Event as I didn't think it was necessary. I found out quickly that it is VERY necessary.
Here's my Trigger Event:

Temperature of Greta's Room Sensor reports >= 70.0
Temperature of Greta's Room Sensor reports <= mintemp(68)

And here's what happened last night:

temperature	95.48	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 95.48°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 05:00:54.036 AM EST
temperature	94.79	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 94.79°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:57:49.793 AM EST
temperature	93.67	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 93.67°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:51:46.894 AM EST
temperature	92.40	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 92.40°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:45:46.432 AM EST
temperature	91.57	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 91.57°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:42:41.256 AM EST
temperature	90.93	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 90.93°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:39:41.977 AM EST
temperature	89.40	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 89.40°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:33:38.758 AM EST
temperature	89.40	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 89.40°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:33:38.758 AM EST
temperature	83.17	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 83.17°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:18:08.834 AM EST
temperature	81.22	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 81.22°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:15:02.462 AM EST
temperature	78.81	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 78.81°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:11:59.326 AM EST
temperature	75.68	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 75.68°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:08:57.877 AM EST
temperature	68.28	°F	Greta's Room Sensor: temperature is 68.28°F	DEVICE		2021-02-09 04:02:43.041 AM EST

The sensor was obviously reporting the temperatures, why did the Trigger Event not happen?

Temperature of Greta's Room Sensor reports >= 70.0

Here's the full rule (I added the periodic trigger back in):

Set the triggers to changed so that whenever a change is reported, the conditions will be evaluated. You should not need to use the periodic trigger.

Oh that's a good idea. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

After 20 days of doing using the temperate changed rule, it still doesn't work very well.

At least a few times per week Hubitat just doesn't respond. In my experience you MUST use a periodic schedule or Hubitat will just plain ignore the sensor.

Here's another example.

Your first conditional expression is missing.

Thank you! I made a change on Friday and somehow ended up with that. This UI drives me crazy.
