Continuing the discussion from Scheduled Jobs Failing AGAIN : As many of you are aware, there are ongoing issues with scheduled events in SmartThings. While these are being worked on, some new issues have surfaced. One of these issues concerns the use of unschedule() by SmartApps. Beginning yeste…

No, your Rules are fine and don’t need to be changed. Updating Rule changes how they function in this one regard.
