Routine's additional logic?

[JDRoberts]

Yep, the “when one is true” makes it an or condition.

I’m going to delete my answer above, because routines have changed since they were first introduced, and I just got it wrong. My bad.

Now some of the conditions are ands and some are or’s.

It looks like at the present time (December 2016) all of the “triggers” are or’s. I don’t see any way to change that.

( if there is one, can somebody post it?)

But the mode restrictions (such as don’t run in this mode) are ands. That is, they always apply no matter what else you have set.

Sorry for any confusion, it can be hard to keep up with all this stuff.

An even more complex, but very powerful and very popular, alternative is core. It will let you set up ands and or’s exactly the way you want them.

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

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, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog.

This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…
