Hi All,
I may be approaching this wrong, so I'd appreciate any suggestions...
I want to create an event that will automatically close my garage doors after 5 minutes when the outside temp is below say 50 degrees.
Closing the garage doors is no problem, I've got a script to cover that, but when I went to write the event trigger as above, I discovered that I could only specify a value equal to, not less than.
My outside temperature is stored in a virtual device and both DeviceString and DeviceValue are set to about the same thing. (DeviceValue is rounded to the nearest degree)
My thought is to only specify the "garage door open for 5 minutes" in the trigger, then call a script to work out the temperature part. Just didn't want to have another script run if it wasn't necessary. Should I be storing the temp differently?
Thoughts?
