Easiest Way? ... Device Value changed : Was N and No longer N

[Ltek]

The device I need to monitor has 15 different possible values. I need to have the Event Trigger watch for when the value was 8 and is no longer 8 since I dont want the event to trigger unless it was 8 just prior to not being 8 anymore.

should I use "value set and expression is true" : "$OLDVALUE == 8 and $NEWVALUE !=8"

or is there a better / easier way?

thx

That’s how I do it 👍

Basic question, is there a link or tutorial on creating expressions in Homeseer? I don't know where to find syntax or variable names.

Thanks,

syntax and operators are listed here: https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ul...in-easytrigger
then you can use any replacement variables as if it was a numerical value: https://help.homeseer.com/help/HS3/s...ment_variables
and you can use the 2 following special variables: $OLDVALUE, $NEWVALUE
