I just wish i knew how to write rules with the rules api.

You can try using my instructions

@TapioX

Using AWA for adding Rules API rules.

Copy and paste Device IDs from AWA Devices to template rule

Keep quotation marks at the beginning and end of Device ID

Paste new rule json to yellow marked area in Add a Rule.

Here is Rules API template for monitoring temperature changes

	   {
		 "if": {
		  "changes": {
			"operand": {
			  "device": {
				"devices": [
				  "-- temperature measurement ID --"
				],
				"component": "main",
				"capability": "temperatureMeasurement",
				"attribute": "temperature"
			  }
			}
		  },
		   "then": [
			  {
				"command": {
				  "devices": [
					"-- virtual switch ID --"
				  ],
				  "commands": [
					{
					  "component": "main",
					  "capability": "switch",
					  "command": "on"
					}
				  ]
				}
			  },		  
			  {
				"sleep": {
					"duration": {
						"value": {
							"integer": 1
						},
						"unit": "minute"
					}
				}
			  },
			  {
				"command": {
				  "devices": [
					"-- virtual switch ID --"
				  ],
				  "commands": [
					{
					  "component": "main",
					  "capability": "switch",
					  "command": "off"
					}
				  ]
				}
			  }	
			]
		}
	   }		 

Virtual switch makes 1 minute pulse every time temperature changes.
