I'm consuming Eclipse smart home REST API to create rules. I already know how to create a rule with only one condition.

 "conditions": [
        {
            "id": "7",
            "label": "Test rule",
            "description": "This triggers the rule if an item state has changed.",
            "configuration": {
            "itemName": "sensor_luminance_TUID_zwave_device_octopuszstick1_node12",
            "state": "48",
            "operator": "="
            },
            "type": "core.ItemStateCondition"
        }
    ]

But I have a requirement to create rules with multiple OR or AND operators. Ex:

If( X AND Y AND Z ) {
       DO THIS
}

If ((X AND Y) OR Z) {
       DO THIS
}

How to do it?

Hi Dushan,

a rule can have a list of triggers and can be started by any of the triggers in this list. As for the conditions, a rule will execute its action(s) only if all given conditions match. For more information start on the JavaDoc for the Rule class.

Hope that helps. Cheers,
Henning
