1) Give a description of the problem
I have two temperature sensors in one room and I want to base the heat on the last sensor that reported the temperature. Is there a way to do that. Can you base a condition on the last time it changed?

2) What is the expected behavior?

3) What is happening/not happening?

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)

The example from @Gopack2 could potentially list both devices in the variable, if both changed in the last 30 seconds.

For a more reliable setup i would use the age([device name : device attribute]) function and a ternary operator (C ? T : F) to evaluate and compare the true age of each device and return the one that changed most recently.

(age([Temperature Sensor : temperature])<age([Temperature Sensor 2 : temperature]) ? [Temperature Sensor : temperature] : [Temperature Sensor 2 : temperature])

The example above will find the the device that changed most recently, and check if it has a value greater than 70

In my case, the device that changed most recently has a temperature reading of 69.

Change Temperature Sensor and Temperature Sensor 2 to represent the names of your two devices.

p.s. What’s up with the topic title, you mentioned motion but your question doesn’t??

Good point

I am just guessing here the motion sensors report back temperature, I know the Bosch motions do.
