I've been struggling to get events that mention only user variables to trigger at all.
Event that check changes of system states (e.g. security status) seem ok but if they only have user variables in the if clause they seem not to run.
Maybe add a write to the debug log in your do clause to see if your event is running or not.

Indeed, I've also noticed that an event with only a user variable in the 'if' doesn't work. But you could probably add an AND with an additional condition that's always true, such as "time > 00:00". Then the event will run every minute. Of course that's not useful if you want to trigger immediately when a user variable changes.
Also setting a user variable for X minutes doesn't work. The value will never be set. Probably this set for X minutes only works for toggling a switch

Hi all,
Indeed, an event does not start on the simple change of state of a variable. And this can be a problem ...

You can use hidden dummy switch ..
