Rule Machine Version 1.7 Released

Rule Machine Version 1.7.6 Released

This release introduces an unfortunate but needed action: Update Rules.

The SmartThings platform has scheduling problems that are quite serious. Rules that use scheduled events may fail to fire due to these problems. If such a failure occurs, the Rule needs to be reset on the platform. This can now be done from within Rule Machine.

The new action is:

Update Rules

You can select one or more Rules that you want to update. Bear in mind that updating a Rule that has no triggers will cause the immediate evaluation of that Rule, and the actions for true/false taken accordingly. Updating a trigger does not cause any action.

If the Rule you want does not show up in the list of Rules available, you can go into that Rule and hit Done. That will make the Rule visible in the list.

This action may be deprecated when ST resolves these scheduling issues.

This update requires you to update both Rule Machine and Rule.
