How can I make notifications have a delay so I don't get them so often

[C4 BEAR]

I have some notifications set for certain rooms that let me know when the temperature goes above a certain temperature. Is there a way to tell C4 not to send the same notification again so soon? Like to have a 20 minute delay before it sends it again if the temperature is still high?

 

Thank you

Fire notification --> start a timer, don't send again while timer is running

Hmmm. I guess I'm in over my head. Thank you anyway!

Seconded. We use timers to prevent nuisance notifications all the time. Especially useful to prevent 20 motion push notifications from the moment a customer arms the alarm/sets away mode and walks to the car.

I don’t think this needs to be complex.

What @msgreenf is suggesting is simply the following code whenever mission is sensed.

 

If XYZTimer is not running then

     Start timer XYZ

     Send push notification

 

Apart from the above 3 lines of code (replacing your single line of code which is “send push notification”), the only thing you need to do is create XYZ timer under Agents and, in your example set the timer length to 20 minutes.

Thank you all for the help. I decided to buy a custom driver and now it is all working properly.
