I sent a version with this logic but came up with values that would still cause the continous events as in your example, specifically with a hyst of 3 and the reported RSSI values jumping between -51 and -47. This could be avoided by changing operators between "less than" and "less or equal" but I eventually sent a version with the "sticky" ranges you suggested, I think that is just as good. Best regards
