Rule trigger on power-up and/or Internet Connection?
Need Answer
Hi,
is there any way to trigger a Rule on any of these two situations:?
1. Power was out, and the Zipato has just started up again after power got back
2. Internet connection was down, and the connection was just resumed?
Br,
Tor M
The same question
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
TorM,
I have solution for the first one and for the second one there was a post in here that described how to achieve it, I will try to find it. Meanwhile find atached rules for detecting reboots.
Concept is based on variables, every time Zipato controllers reboot they wipe the values on variables, not like virtual meters and devices, they immediately read from the cloud again. So you have to create a rule when a variable is less or equal zero then you do whatever you want and then you write whatever value bigger than 0 to the variable, when a reboot happen, the variable go back to 0.
In my case I have two rules, one that runs only one time after reboot and the second runs 5 times (minutely) after a reboot, I found sometimes it takes time for the virtual weather station to update, so I run this 5 times.

Thanks Alberto.
This seems to work. I also found the other post about loosing the network connection.
