Delays between Push Notifications?

[C4 BEAR]

Hi all.

 

I have some programming that will send a push notification to my iPhone to let me know if a particular room is hotter than I want it to be. The push notifications work very well, but I was wondering if there was a way to have a delay of say...15 minutes between a particular notification? Right now I get them a few times a minute and it is quite annoying.

 

Thank you in advance for any info.

if TimerX is not running

   If Room is hotter than you want it to be 

      Fire timerX for 15mins

Thank you. I guess I am dumber than I thought, LOL. I'll have to try to get my dealer to fix it.

Just to be more detailed:

Create timer {15 minute hold} for 15 minutes

 

In  your existing programming, change it to:

 

WHEN temp changes
IF temp is above xyz
	IF timer {15 minute hold} is NOT running
		Send notification
		start timer {15 minute hold}

Excellent way to do this, but I'd consider addition to minimize the emails further.

Because temperatures with HVAC fluctuate especially when going on/off - you'll probably see that first email (and don't really  care).

I'd  reset the time timer first and have the notification sent when the timer FINISHES.

I would also add a line When temp changes -> if temp is BELOW xyz -> Stop timer.

OK, That makes a bit more sense to me. I will give that a shot. THANK YOU !!!

So that you get a notification of a strange change in temperature 15 minutes later?

I get what you're saying, but having it trigger on reaching a set temperature or above already would already stop 'random' notification when a forced air kicks in and temperature drops/spike briefly by a degree or two

No so you minimize the false positive.

Yes... except that as I said, that false positive is pretty unlikely ... and you wouldn't want to wait 15 minutes to hear a room is 10 degrees above desired range. IMHO.
