PLEG Learning Pains

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)
#1

Input: GarageDoorTripped
Condition: GarageDoorTripped; Now > 5:00
Action: X

Expected Result: Action X runs if Garage Door is OPEN for 5 minutes. Does not fire Action X if door CLOSED (untripped) before 5 minutes.
Actual Results: Action X runs if Garage Door is OPEN for 5 minutes. Action X runs if Garage Door is CLOSED (untripped)for 5 minutes.

I am not using armed triggers, as I know they don’t work currently. Just tripped or untripped.

This is what I have and it works
Conditions

Name Expression
DoorOpen GarageDoorOpened
DoorStillOpen GarageDoorOpened and (GarageDoorOpened ; NOW > 10:00)

I have 2 actions set up, one for each “Name” above.
I get an alert when the door is opened and a different one if the door is still open after 10 minutes

dferrey is correct:

[quote=“AgileHumor, post:1, topic:179370”]Condition: GarageDoorTripped; Now > 5:00[/quote]This becomes true 5 minutes later after GarageDoorTripped became true the last time, regardless if it is still true or not.[quote=“dferrey, post:2, topic:179370”]DoorStillOpen GarageDoorOpened and (GarageDoorOpened ; NOW > 10:00)[/quote]This becomes true 10 minutes later after GarageDoorOpened became true the last time, but only if at that moment GarageDoorOpened is true
