We’re thrilled to announce that this highly requested feature is now available to everyone! in beta.
Beta Link: https://community.sharptools.io/t/beta-new-rule-triggers-changes-on-transition-only/13106
The new feature enables you to opt for a general ‘updates’ comparison operator, eliminating the need to specify conventional operators such as ‘updates and equals’ (==) or ‘updates and is greater than’ (>). With this configuration, the rule gets triggered any time the value updates rather than requiring a specific condition to be true.
In addition, we’re debuting a new ‘On Transition Only’ option. This refines your comparison to only take place when the value changes to your desired state. This comes in handy in scenarios where a device might report an ‘update’ with the same value, and you are only interested in the initial transition to your preferred state. It’s also helpful for situations where you only want the rule to trigger when a value ‘rises above’, ‘drops below’ or ‘changes from’ a specific value.
