-| `conditions`            | text | Comma separated list of expressions on the format `ITEM_NAME OPERATOR ITEM_STATE`, ie `MyItem EQ OFF`. Use quotes around `ITEM_STATE` to treat value as string ie `'OFF`' |
-| `mismatchState`         | text | Optional state to pass instead if conditions are NOT met. Use quotes to treat as `StringType`. Defaults to `UNDEF`                                                         |
