Hi Roger.

If you are talking about a switch that communicate thru z-wave or zigbee so you actually see the switch state change in your system when you change the switch manually.....then I think I have an idea for you.


1. Create the rule and notification you like to have when the switch is manually changed.

2. Add an IF block to that rule so that the rule only run IF a variable is equal to zero. (example: Variable name: SWITCHNOTE = 0)

3. In your sheduled events for that switch, in those rules, add a SET VARIABLE "SWITCHNOTE = 1" right before your Switch action trigger......and after you Switch action trigger you add a WAIT BLOCK set to 1sec or 2sec.....and last add a SET VARIABLE "SWITCHNOTE = 0".


Goodluck! Let me know if you want me to show this with pictures instead.
