Rule Error

---

Hello everybody,

where is the mistake

    {
      "id": "hue-var-an",
      "name": "hue-var-an",
      "rule": "when HUE Lampen is turned on or when testswitch is turned on and HUE Lampen is turned off then turn on Hue Wohnzimmer and set color of Hue Wohnzimmer to hue 15% and saturation 100% and dim HUE Wohnzimmer to 100% and turn on Hue Flur and set color of Hue Flur to hue 15% and saturation 100% and dim HUE Flur to 100% and turn on Hue Küche and set color of Hue Küche to hue 15% and saturation 100% and dim HUE Küche to 100% and turn on HUE Gardrobe and set color of HUE Gardrobe to hue 15% and saturation 100% and dim HUE Gardrobe to 60% and turn hue-var-an on",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },

So: If i turn “testswitch” on and “Hue-Lampen” are still on than the System calls the rule again
I dont unterstand this!
Why is the rule called again?!?!?

"rule": "when HUE Lampen is turned on or when testswitch is turned on and HUE Lampen is turned off then

try
WHEN [HUE Lampen is turned on or testswitch is turned on] and HUE Lampen is turned off THEN ...

or
WHEN HUE Lampen is turned on or when testswitch is turned on and if HUE Lampen is turned off then ...

@leader21 said in Rule Error:

try
WHEN [HUE Lampen is turned on or testswitch is turned on] and HUE Lampen is turned off THEN ...

This one works!!! Strange… :p
Thank you!!!

@leader21

BUT: If i take this rule the argument “HUE Lampen is turned off” never be true because

if i switch HUE Lampen on in the “or part” the condition …and HUE Lampen is turned off
never be correct

Is this a mistake in the Code?
This does not give any logic

@leader21 here the video that you see what i mean

Let’s first get back to what you really want before diving into the rules.
So what do you want?

• test switch is turned on: No matter the current state, you want to turn on the HUE lampen?

If that is the case you only need when testswitch is turned on then.... Don’t bother about the current status.

If I’m wrong please explain what you want.

@Harry-van-der-Wolf
my english is to bad. I hope you can see that what I want

Sorry, but I don’t think I understand.

From your picture:

• You have a blue switchbox (schalterbox) which you can use outside? pimatic to manually switch your HUE lamps on or off.
• You have a pimatic switch “HUE Lampen” which you can use to switch the lamps on or off.

How can pimatic know whether the external(?) blue box is on or off?

I know you are German or at least German speaking. Please try in German. I can read German very well and we have a lot of German speaking forum members here. English is the forum language, which I always promote, but if we can’t solve it we need to switch to German (and I answer in english if I know the answer).

Prima, dann versuche ich es mal auf deutsch:
Ich habe einen “MySensorButton” der auf der Pi nur close/open anzeigt. Des weitern nutze ich einen DummySwitch.
Ich brauche folgende Regel:
Wenn der “MySensorButton” gedrückt wird, bekomme ich das Signal “close” auf der Pi. Wenn jetzt der DummySwitch Aus ist, soll dieser angestellt werden. Zusätzlich möchte ich mit dem DummySwitch die Regel aktivieren können, da diese Lampen anschaltet. Das funktioniert nur suboptimal. Auch wenn der DummySwitch an ist. Aktiviert die Pi die Regel, obwohl ich das mit “…and Switch is turned on” verbiete. Also wenn an dann natürlich nicht nochmal an:

when Dummyswitch is turned on or when [MySensorButton is closed and Dummyswitch is turned off]

Dummyswitch ist on und trotzdem ruft er die Regel auf, wenn “MySensorButton is closed”

Vielen Dank für deine Hilfe

when Dummyswitch is turned on or when [MySensorButton is closed and Dummyswitch is turned off]

Rule is activated if

1. DummySwitch is turned on
2. MySensorButton is closed and DummySwitch currently is off (Or if DummySwitch is turned off while MySensorButton is closed… which you might not want)

so for me the rule looks fine for what you want (I’m also from Germany, hope I correctly understood you)
So if the rule still triggers there seems to be a bug.

However I would do two seperate rules.

1. Rule which does the stuff when DummySwitch is turned on
2. Rule which turns on the DummySwitch when MySensorButton is closed and DummySwitch is off

For me the rule looks fine… But it dont work! I posted a video… other Device Names but same problem

I have now made it so like you said. I hoped it would go well with one rule…
