[solved]Intervall schedule with rules for double fan control

---

Hi, I’ve a challenge and don’t know how to solve it: for an automated cellar fan control (dewpoint based) I need to activate and deactivate 2 fans (one for air in and one for air out) in a changing schedule.

What I miss here is the rule ability of ‘switch on fan1 every 30 minutes’ lets say combined with variables or state of the other fan ‘IF state of fan2 is off THEN switch fan1 on every 30 minutes’ and vice versa…

My initial idea is to update two 'active/pasdive variables values for fan1 and fan2 via cron-job or python script every 30 minutes and proceed with rules in pimatic to switch the fans. But I like to know if this is possible pure pimatic based.

Any hints or ideas?? THANKS!!

it is possible like this:

when fan2 is off then and every 30 minutes then turn on fan 1

or

when fan2 is off then set $fan2variable to 0

when fan2variable is 1 and every 30 minutes then turn on fan1 for x minutes

fan2variable

BIG thanks for this hint. The ‘and every’ in the IF condition made the trick. I always tried to put ‘every’ in the THEN statement which isn’t provided.
