Having some trouble with a rule. I want my waterpump to start one's every hour and run until power switch reports a powerlevel under 1000. Then it should turn off.
Below rule doesn't work. It doesn't turn off. Would be awesome with a guiding hand here

First trigger uses Periodic, to turn on the pump once an hour.
Second trigger fires on Power Level < 1000, turns off the pump.
Edited to add: When 2.1.0 comes out you will be able to use a single trigger. The trigger event will be Periodic, turn it on once an hour. Then in the actions, you would also have Wait for Event, waiting for Power Level < 1000, then turn off.
Unfortunately, there is still some problem with this. After testing below two triggers. One for ON and one for OFF it doesn't really get as reliable and good as i was hoping. The sensor for the power consumption can sometimes report consumption during the start-up of the water pump. In below example it reports 90.1 W. Then the rule is triggered prematurely from what i want. Once out of ten this happens. Not sure how to get past this problem. Especially since it doesn't happen all the time. Do you have any more suggestions for solutions before the next version is released by RM?
PS: Using each of these hours as event trigger. When i was testing with "Every 1 hour" it stopped at 00.00 and the rule was not triggered anymore. Using this hub at a remote location on very poor mobile connection it's hard to monitor it 24/7. And as it trigger a water pump it has to be reliable even at night.
Log for when it's not working like i hope.

In the second trigger for power, under Restrictions select Disable with Private Boolean.
In the first trigger, before your on action, add Set Private Boolean to False for the second trigger. After your on action, add a delay of however long you need for the power to settle down. After that delay, Set Private Boolean to true of the second trigger. That could be a single action with the delay built-in to it. This will just stop the second trigger from running until you want it to.
When you do get the new release, you'd have to protect the Wait for Event by a similar delay, to give the power time to settle down before testing it.
