overall power consumption Rules problem

---

Hello,
I like to display my overall power consumption over 1 day, the actual month and the actual year and overall years. therefore I created following rules

when every 1 minute then set $variable_number_cumulativepower_day_actual = $totalpowerofoutlets - $variable_number_cumulativepower_month_actual

when its \"first day of month 00:00\" then after 20 seconds set $variable_number_cumulativepower_year_actual = $variable_number_cumulativepower_month_actual and set $variable_number_cumulativepower_month_actual = 0

when its \"Jan 01 00:00\" then after 40 seconds set $variable_number_cumulativepower_year_old = $variable_number_cumulativepower_year_old + $variable_number_cumulativepower_year_actual and set $variable_number_cumulativepower_year_actual = 0 and set $variable_number_cumulativepower_month_actual = 0

$totalpowerofoutlets is a variable which simply is the sum of all outlet powermeters i have.

Somtimes everything is 0 sometimes it is the correct values. Whats wrong with the rules and there synchronisation???

Thanks

@developer any Help?

Try to add a delay of 5 seconds before setting the variables to 0

Why?

Because all commands were triggered at the same time. Because of that, it could be that the variable is set to 0 first and assigned after that. It’s just luck then.

But this should be done. Only on the First Not every das or? But month_actual is every day zero or the correct value

What? I don’t understand you.

The 2nd and the 3rd rule set a variable to 0 that also is assigned to another variable.

Correct but only

first day of month 00:00

But this doesn’t work…it is executed everyday. But why?

@temp
Here some working expressions:

When its "11th of month" and its 18:48 then
When its "1st of month" and its 00:00 then
When its "Jan 12 18:45" then
When its "Jan 01 00:00" then

In the then section all “and” statements are executed at the same time. So save first the value and make then all resets with an after some seconds pause.
