Hey everyone! I wanted to share a little trick I figured out for the Rule Machine (RM) that might be helpful for others. I know some folks have asked about preventing a rule from triggering multiple times if it’s already running, and while there isn’t a built-in slider for this yet, there’s a clever workaround using private variables and expressions.\So, here’s how it works: I created a private Boolean variable called rule_running and set it to false by default. At the start of the rule, I check if rule_running is true. If it is, the rule exits immediately. If not, I set rule_running to true and let the rule proceed.\Once the rule finishes its tasks, I make sure to set rule_running back to false. This simple setup effectively prevents the rule from triggering again while it’s still running. It’s a bit of a manual fix, but it gets the job done without needing any extra add-ons or complicated configurations.\I thought this was a neat solution because it uses RM’s existing features in a creative way. It might not be the most elegant, but it’s reliable and doesn’t require any additional setup beyond a few lines of code.\If anyone has other tips or tricks for optimizing RM rules, I’d love to hear them! Let’s keep the ideas flowing and make our smart homes even smarter together.
