In HS2 I had a number of events that used the "has been for at least" condition to switch things on and off after a delay.
In HS3, this condition doesn't work, as the "last change" date is reset every time the event polls the device - ie. at least every minute.
So I now find myself having to create 2 events and a timer for each device.
1. Event that resets a timer every time the device "has a value that just changed"
2. Event that checks the timer "is more than" and then carries out my action
This is somewhat more difficult than HS2.
Is this just how it is? Or is there a better way of doing it?
Why doesn't "last change" work as its name would suggest?
cheers,
