jam10 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Am having trouble getting a program to run correctly. I want to get an e-mail/text when humidity level in house reaches a certain percentage. My program: IF status Venstar T-1800 is 62% humitiy THEN send notification to jam Only problem with the above is that the e-mails/text keep coming. How can I just get one alert only and stop the repeating? Thanks
LeeG Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 If the email is repeating it is likely the result of the humidity changing slightly above or below 62%, coming back to 62%. Not uncommon trait of these thermostats. What is the objective of the humidity check? An Integer variable can be set to a value of 1 when the email is sent. A test of the variable value being 0 is Anded with the Humidity check preventing further emails after one is sent. Another Program checks if Humidity is below 58% or above 66% and resets the variable to 0 so that further emails will be sent if humidity returns to 62%. What resets the variable back to 0 depends on the requirement.
