Some additional "alarm" functionality, i.e. "when any of sensors (except some) showing temperature <10, trigger an alarm"

Under Consideration

Hi, I'm trying to figure out is it possible to create one simple rule (to avoid per-sensor rules), something like "when any sensor except this, this and this are showong some parameter less (more) than bla-bla (temperature, liquid, gas, fire, etc), trigger an alarm and send a message"


Is it possible to do now? If now, could you please implement such functionality? It should be extremely useful, as all new sensors added will be automatically included.

It requires some work but I implemented this (with notification sent to my mobile phone) with the climate widget and rules attached to virtual devices as heaters & coolers.

Oliver, Nice work!


But IMHO it should be made availible without such workarounds as it is very common issue.

For this you can use groups, it is very fast and easy. You can create a group with all the sensors which you would like to include (only relevant for the rule). And than, you create rule with the group action instead of the action per single sensor.
