The providing provider - Variable problem

Guest

Sometimes i feel me stupid with Pimatic…

I want to set a variable. I do it like this

if mobile is present then set $someoneathome = 1

What i get is an error:

Could not find an provider that provides the next action of “set $SomeOneAtHome = 1”.

Must i init a variable before any where how is not documented anywhere?

Thanks for help.

Well yes, you must “create” a variable in the variables menu on the left side.
Also be aware of case sensitivity!
Your above post states two different variables at the moment.

OK, now it’s clear…

Is there a way to do this with one rule:

if(mobile is present){
set $SomeOneAtHome := 1
}else{
set $SomeOneAtHome := 0
}

THEN are only except AFTER or AND there is no chance to set this Variable with one rule?

Can i save a variable and can be let set after reboot? Maybe the variable is set to one, will be this value stay after reboot?
