if / then / ELSE

---

Hi,

I used the search function but I didn’t found something like that. Are there plans to implement “ELSE”-function to rules? This would make things a lot easier!

the v0.9 rule system has been evolved but an else function is still missing.
actually i cannot tell you if / when this feature will come.
so upvote and we will see

Yes, this is a good feature request …
Meanwhile, you can use variables as a placeholder

“IF light is turned on AND security is on THEN turn sound-the-alarm on”
“IF light is turned on AND security is off THEN variable = 1”

Of course depends whole lot on which functions you would like to achieve with else

Maybe to Pimatic 1.0 … 0.9 has many improvements already.

@kitsunen yes, thats the thing. for now you have to make 2 rules for simple expressions.
would be cool if we have something like: if tv is on or lamp1 is on or lamp2 is on or onkyAVR is on then set $someoneIsAtHome to 1 Else set $someoneIsAtHome to 0 instead of writing two rules. no big deal. im totally ok with doing that. just a wish for the future

Should be more like an “ELSE IF”. Because “ELSE” would always be the case if some other device or variable changes.

Hello to all developers here, I know this post is already a few days old 😉. But are there still ambitions to make something like this possible? I think many other users would be happy about it. Unfortunately I can not estimate in the slightest what effort that would require.
But I could imagine that with something like this, pimatic will be safer for the future and there will be many new users as well.
