This may be me showing my lack of dev knowledge, but having never used the context variables, I was trying to think of ways to create a counter and/or notification based on when a rule runs in a timeframe.
The rule is related to manual feeding of a pet from a dash button and some days we don’t keep track of the button pushes across the family. As such, I was trying to mimic a rule log so that for a specified period, we could keep count how many times feeder tile is pushed with a variable to keep the results for display. For the context…ruleID feature as I screenshot below, there seems there is no ‘what about the ruleID you wish to know’ . For example, ruleID xxxxx was triggered, failed, or has successfully executed. Is there a better way to trigger a new rule when an existing rule is run?
I did try adding a variable+1 as an extra action to the existing rule, but then I will have to consider a way to clear/reset the variable (for example, every day) somewhere else. I would prefer to understand a way to measure when rules execute to use in separate rules if possible. Thank you in advance.
