Rule to activate/deactivate Temperature-Devices
Hello I want to activate/deactivate a Sensordevice by setting a rule.
Is this possible?
In my case, I’ve a Tempreture-sensor, but I use it not very often, so there is no need for a regular update intervall. So for me the best thing would be to have a possibility to make the device active/deactive. If this don’t works, is it possible to manipulate the intervall time of a sensor-device?

Hi,
I have pretty much the similar question and would like ask also if it is possible to do a manual shell sensor update (e.g. by rule if this than update shell sensor XY)

Maybe a possibility would be over the api. but activating and deactivating devices in a native way does not exist at the moment.
I wonder if it would be possible to use a variable for the interval or maybe other attributes as well which can be defined in rules. guess this is not possible yet. have not tried it, am not at home right now. so just my two cents.
pimatic v0.9 has been released!

depends on how you read your sensor. for example:
i use the light intensity sensor (bh1750) with a python script instead of the pimatic plugin. the script reads the sensor and delivers an integer result. furthermore i have a rule which execute the python script. with an additional variable and a buttonsdevice i would be able to activate/deactive this rule.
