poscash3757 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Just a thought. I would like to program an announcement to trigger on a certain day but only once once the motion triggers in a room. For example. On Thanksgiving morning, I would like to remind my daughter to be sure to be ready to leave the house by 1:00 pm, However, I do not want to set a time for the announcement to start, I want to trigger it on Thanksgiving morning when motion is triggered in her room. This way I know she is already awake when the announcement triggers. Suggestions for this over grown child Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Set a boolean variable to toggle true when motion is sensed.Set a number variable to one. When the boolean variable changes, if it's true, if number variable is >0, execute announcement. When announcement executes, reduce number variable by 1.

ILoveC4 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Set something to increment that variable up. Maybe a keypad double or triple tap somewhere. The way I told you to set it up, it will only fire if that variable is greater than one, and then it will drop the variable by one. Once variable hits zero, no more announcement.

poscash3757 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 I saw a post with link to a web site for home heartbeat... or something like that. That web page had a reminder type of link to the system they were selling. I thought it might have some advantages to get reminders out to my teenagers.http://www.homeheartbeat.com/HomeHeartBeat/Accessories/index.htm#ReminderMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
