Hi there, I want to set up a rule system which observes external sensor values continously, i.e. the temperature. If a certain limit is exceeded, a rule should fire. The problem is, that Jess executes rules until no more matching facts are found and the then stops. If a sensor exceeds it's limits after this run, nothing will happen. The way I will try to solve this is by defining a "isidle"-rule with minimum salience, which matches on a special "dorun"-fact, retracts it, waits some time (100 ms) by calling an external wait function and asserts a new "dorun"-fact. If a sensor value has reached it's limit, the corresponing rule will fire, otherwise the "isidle"-rule will fire again. Moreover, a special "stop"-rule will be defined with a higer salience than the "isidle"-rule, in order to be able to stop the running rule engine (which run in a seperate thread) by asserting a "stop"-fact. Is this a reasonable solution or is there a possibility to reach this goal in a more simple way?
