min(180) should be better

two different ways:

I agree. You've basically said that the minimum value over 18 seconds needed to be 6, not for 180 seconds (3 minutes). This would not trigger if you sampled more frequently, perhaps, but if you're sampling once every 30 seconds or 60 seconds (or even less) then you could trigger with the listed configuration.

Far better to run your "delay" type triggers to look across multiple sample times.
