Re: Another Condition Question or Issue

Ok, I got your database and a schedule that wasn't working. First, the schedule was disabled, but I assume that's just a result of your testing. Second, your conditions were still marked Any rather than All, so I changed that:

ss77.png (80.51 KiB) Viewed 3684 times


I then changed the frequency to every 15 seconds and enabled the schedule. It didn't execute (as it shouldn't have because the variable was at 68). I changed the variable value to 40 and the next time it ran correctly (I added a text to speak on the action just so it was easier to tell if it ran). I then changed it back to 68 and the next time it didn't execute. So, with that configuration, it seems to be working correctly.

Re: Another Condition Question or Issue

Yes it was disabled, I was tired of it running.
I have made the change from Any to All.
Seem now to be working, I am sure that I tried All.

Thank you, but another question:
If it is above 65 degrees, And Peak heating is false, And I am not on vacation (false)
Why does using Any make a difference?

Re: Another Condition Question or Issue

Any is an OR clause: if ANY ONE of the conditions are true, then the whole condition is true. All is an AND clause: if (and only if) ALL conditions are true will the whole condition be true.

Jay replied whilst I was mid- reply.

As he says, any means any. So if Vacation is false, the actions will run regardless of the temperature or peak state.

You want all those conditions to be true (temperature <65 And vacation false And peak false) before the actions will run.

Re: Another Condition Question or Issue

Capture a screen area shot by pressing SHIFT + CMD + 4 - see Mac Rumors guide
This will normally save the image to the desktop.

Then when writing a forum Post -
  1. click on Attachments beneath the text window to expand the Attachments dialogue
  2. click on Choose File and select the image you captured from the desktop
  3. click Add the file - this will condense the Attachments dialogue
  4. click on Attachments beneath the text window to expand the Attachments dialogue again
  5. Place the cursor in the text window (where you are writing your post) at the position where you want the image to go
  6. Click Place inline to add the image inline
  7. Click Preview to see the result
It's a bit long-winded :wink:

Hope this was what you wanted to know and that it helps :)
