Configuring a second thermometer

Before getting into your problem, you can move all of the process stuff to the “but only if…” clause of the rule instead of making it part of the rule. So this code above would just be skipped if the triggeringItem is Anavi but ThermometerSwitch isn’t. You can do the same for the “My” sensors when ThermometerSwitch isn’t “My”.

Great refactor! I was striving to use return to simply that logic, but I got errors when using return in a rule. That would help to simplify the code

I think 2 will be less work over all, but there may be some side effects that I’m not aware of off the top of my head that might crop up.

I agree, I wouldn’t like to change rules too much, so I can keep track of upstream changes. I would like to keep synchronized with new versions, so 2 option seems to be cleaner. I have already modified the UI, so I could even change the MQTT channel and subscribe to a new one…

Thank you for your insights! I will get back with my final setup.
