I need some help with Logical Rule. How do I define if a trigger should be used dynamic (= one time event) or static (= permanently)? E.g. I would like to use a virtual device as a binary switch to trigger an event. The state change should trigger the event once. But how can I make clear that a condition

DEVICE = ON

means to do it once as soon as DEVICE CHANGES from OFF to ON but not permanently run an action as long as DEVICE is on?

Or do I think too difficult?

Thanks for help!

Differentiate event from condition. If you want to trigger by even, add such devices in the event source. For "permanent" use something else as event source and your switch as part of the condition

Thanks for feedback! However the "Logical Rule" app only shows "conditions" but no "events". Or did I misunderstand your point?

it gives you the possibility to change the event to trigger on
