Share your rules

[Gadjet Nut]

Do you have an interesting rule to share?

I have a motion sensor in my entrance hall way as well as a couple of lamps on a table so I connected the lamps to a relay with a wireless switch and then wrote a rule to switch the lamps on between 9pm and 7am when motion is detected. Now when I walk in the passage way at night the lamps come on, and then switch off when there has been no motion for 10 minutes.

Switch the lamps on:

IF Sensor open AND 

Hour of day is between 20 AND 7 AND 

Sensor = Hall Motion Detector

Then RF Relay On

Switch the lamp off:

IF Sensor closed for  x minutes where x equals 10 AND

Sensor = Hall Motion Detector

Then RF Relay OFF

I think I asked you this before, but...

Is there a way to have a temperature sensor be "open" if it hits a value?  Because if so then you could have it post an email if the sensor was open for X time.

You did indeed. We'll have that in a future release.

Well this week I connected my pot plant to this moisture sensor:

The buzzer triggers when the plant needs watering (no connection required to the internet).

Then connected it to a wireless switch:

Then defined a rule:

IF sensor is open AND

Sensor is Plant THEN

Send email

Now my plant sends me an email when it needs watering.

I made a YouTube video of it:

Here is a rule that will sound the alarm (or send an email) if a sensor is activated during a particular time of the day regardless if the alarm is activated or not. I use this rule for my garage. If there is any motion from my wireless motion sensor in the garage between 11pm and 5am then it sounds the buzzer.

IF Sensor closed 

AND Hour of day is between 23 AND 5

AND Sensor is Garage Motion

THEN Alarm
