Create a new Zone to post Rules examples

ChrisDalo shared this idea ago

Planned

Hello Team

it would be great to create a new zone in "Response" folder to post Rules.

I have some rules that i use to notify low temperature, other to start my swimming pool pump linked to water temperature.

I think other users have rules to share.

Thanks

Maybe Zipato can show some examples?

Like what does "join" in the advanced tab exactly do?

Join is a quite dumb thing.

I experimented with the http://community.zipato.com/responses/how-does-the-controls-join-and-stop-function but it seems I am the one who is dumb. I can't manage what I want: As long as there is motion light on, no motion light off after X seconds.

Don't underestimate the dumbness of 'join'. :) It kills only the rule it's in.

So you probably want something like this:

when motion ANY
join
if motion = true
light on
else
wait X seconds
light off

Yes I want something like that (point 6 is not needed as it is configurable on the device itself) but it doesn't work. Most common problem is that it does not switch off.
