Happy New Year!

Would not it be a helpful feature to turn rules on and off in the gui?

Thus, rules that are not valid all year could be specifically activated and deactivated without having to intervene manually in the config.json.
(Christmas lights, pool lighting, ...)

Maybe with a kind of switch?

Happy new year!

I have several of such rules and I am using the state of generic_switches as the first condition in the rules themselves.

Example:

Code:

IF christmas.state == on  AND (......) THEN ...

So am i.

I also use a "Masterswitch" which disables most of all rules for manually switching.

Just wondering if that all is necessary.
It seems easier to display rules in the gui as a switch with freely definable text and then switch them directly.
50% less text becaus of not needed generic_switches.

But maybe just my opinion.

My config.json contains about 800 lines of text and each line less would help to find things better ;-)

OK, I understand.

Sounds like a good idea. Just have to find the time to implement it

[terrar]

Unfortunately, lack of time is the problem of half the world.
But I think I will be able to wait for it.

Great Idea!

Would make my config much simplier.

I would apreciate this!
