Isn’t it a bit peculiar you “accuse” me of not giving you an answer which is matching your limitations in thinking?  
Please add this requirement to your next questions, so responders don’t have to waste their time on your odd ways.  
No need to reply, won’t read your stuff anylonger.

This exact flavor of sustained values can be checked using the [Device Capabilities](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/Device-Capabilities/) app @Peter_Kawa mentioned earlier:

The app not only provides the ‘is equal to’ test, but also the ‘is greater/smaller than’ and several other variants. Next to numeric capabilities, it also works with booleans and strings.

Though this is a community app, it might enable you to move away from some of the other apps you mentioned, so still contributing to your purpose of reducing the number of community apps.
