I’m not sure what’s going on in your system. When you go into the app, and hit Done, that causes an evaluation to take place. It sounds like what you’re doing is outside the rule logic, so is not causing an event that causes evaluation to take place.
Hang in there. I’m going to release “Dimmer level” as a capability yet today. I will post when I do that. Also, I think the linked rule thing could be very cool. I doubt that will happen today. But, the idea would be to add a capability of “Rule truth”, and allow you to select any other rule you have. Then when the rule is evaluated, it would check the truth of some other rule. What I’m not sure about yet is whether a change of state of the linked rule listed as a condition would cause an evaluation of the rule that references the linked rule. Work to be done, probably not today.

Don’t forget the garage door too! Lol. Pretty soon this one app will take the place of all other apps!
Best app I’ve seen so far, one of those you slap your head and wonder why it isn’t in ST already, and why it wasn’t done already (like we all don’t have anything else to do! )
garage door:
capability “Garage Door Control”
Attribute values and methods are the same as door
type : “capability.garageDoorControl”
New capability not in the docs, I verified it was “real” at the last developers meeting…
With more and more smart outlets that can monitor energy usage, is it possible to set a condition when energy level is < or > a certain amount? Also related, is when total energy reaches a certain number of watts. I was thinking of using this to alert me when my laundry is done when power usage reaches 0 watts.
Sure, that’s a good idea. I did the core capabilities first, wanting to hear from people about other things. I will definitely put that on the list to be done.
You know, like “one rule to rule them all”
