Advice on rule design

[garnold]

I’d like to have the following happen via a rule.....

1. On system boot have the led stay lit for 3 seconds
2. If WiFi connection is made blink led 3 times slow
3. If MQTT connection is made blink led 3 times fast
4. Publish to MQTT server every 5 mins and blink the led when that happens

I’ve read about the pulse command that I think will help with the led blinking.
As for the others, I’ve read on this forum the possibily using ping could help with this. The issue I have with ping is that I can’t guarantee which ip to hit for testing.

I’m sure there are a few ways to handle this so I thought I would toss this out to the masses for ideas.

So here’s my start. I was trying to mess around with variables but didn’t have much luck. I thought I would set them during an event and then test for them later.

On System#Boot do

Pulse,14,1,500


endon

On WiFi#Connected do
Let,1,1
timerSet,1,1
Endon


on Rules#Timer=1 do

Pulse,14,1,500
Pulse,14,0,500
Pulse,14,1,500
Pulse,14,0,1000
Endon

On MQTT#Connected do
Let,2,1
timerSet,2,1
Endon


on Rules#Timer=2 do

Pulse,14,1,500
Pulse,14,0,500
Pulse,14,1,500
Pulse,14,0,500
Pulse,14,1,500

Endon
