I will make it short: i have a humidity sensor that starts a dryer if value is above 65% (#trigger). But if there is a huge power usage (#condition), i do not start the dryer (no action)...
Problem is: it never triggers again!
Ideally , if this happens, it should recheck humidity every x minutes.
At some point, power consumption will go down and allow the dryer to keep the area dry.
Currently, once it cancels due to power draw, the system stops and manual intervention is required
#Retrigger every x minutes

Add a trigger for when the power consumption goes under your threshold for some duration (~1 minute?)

So you mean switch triggers? That might work but feels very counter intuitive... Or you mean trigger on both?
Or 2 triggers and 2 conditions... That would work too... Maybe. But is there no other way?

I would use 2 triggers:
- Power goes below the value that you are OK to run the dryer
- Humidity sensor goes above 65%
Condition:
- power is below the allowed value
- Humidity is above the 65
Actions:
- turn on the dryer

Triggering on a particular event is always smarter than time interval triggering. So indeed, trigger on both and have both states as condition.
