CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example…

Thanks @JDRoberts ! One CoRE thing that has confused me - and this is not a qustion about how to use it - is that there is a CoRE on the rboyapps.com site. Is that the CoRE or do several implementations of CoRE exist?
