Not getting the rule creator

Hi,


In the past I've had very basic programming instructions, but I don't seem to get the hang of the Zipato rule creator. A good manual would be very helpful here.


I have some very basic scripts, but if I encounter an error, I almost never seem to be able to solve it. To test something for another purpose, I've made a script that should turn on a light when a door sensor is opened, but for some reason, it won't light.

Even if I make it very simple just using a when statement for the opened door and that it should set the light to 100%, it won't work.


What am I doing wrong here?

Hmm, it seems to be something else. Zipato reset the box to factory defaults because something was off. So I've spend the entire day yesterday reconfiguring it, including some of my rules (switching fan with the bathroom light etc). Those rules worked yesterday.


Now they don't anymore. Any suggestions as to what might cause this?? :S

Hi Hans,


your rule seams to be ok. Please try to execute that rule again (open the door) and confirm if it doesn't work.

The saving of data has been restored again, thanks for that!


Been fiddling with the rules now, but I'm struggling a bit with the if/else statements. I made the following rule:

But it's not working, it doesn't do anything, no light turning on, no light turning off. If I remove the else-statement and just do it with "if", it does switch the light.
