[rules-users] Combination of conditions doesn't work

[FrankVhh]

Hi Sariman,

The trick with "from entry-point", is quite unfamiliar to me. There might be
some problem with that, but I cannot tell by looking at it.

However, there are a few problems with the rules that you have printed out
for us.

1) The way I understand it, they do not do what they should be doing. You
said you do NOT want an action when all sensors evaluate to true. In your
case, you are evaluateing whether all sensors are false. This is pretty
useless if you already have a rule which evaluates the existence of at least
1 "true" sensor. The way I would put this is like this:

rule "Myrule"
	when
		#conditions
		sensorEvent1: SensorEvent(booleanValue == true)
		exists( SensorEvent(booleanValue == false) )
	then 
		#actions
end

2) There are some errors in your rule. No idea whether this is a copy/paste
or a read/type, so I will just point them out.
    - ";" is usually not needed in a LHS, I am not familiar with the from
entry-point syntax, but I assume it wouldn't be needed
    - There is a ")" in excess in one of your conditions

3) I don't think it makes sense to put your rules as you did in the second
example. Even if you are trying to examine whether those three sensors are
false.

On a personal note: what does from entry-point do? I must have overlooked it
in the documentation.

Regards,
Frank
