Hello!

 

I am using an I/O Linc connected to an outdoor motion sensor to activate a program in the ISY. This is so I can turn a scene of lights on, as well as get an email when motion is detected.

 

I have it working, but the problem is I get a large amount of emails (literally every second) when motion is being detected

 

Can anyone help me "clean up my code"? I would like to get an email when motion is detected, and only if the timeout expires (lights turn off after 2 min), then send an email?

 

The lights are working perfectly with my code, I am just getting too many emails.

 

I have posted the picture of the code below. Thank you very much for any advice you can provide.

Define an integer variable: i.notificationDelay and set it's value to 0

 

Create a second program as follows:

 

Program:NotificationDelay

If i.notificationDelay=0

Then
  Send notification to 'email notification'  Content 'Garage Outside Motion'
  i.notificationDelay=1
  Run Program NotificationDelay (Else Path)

Else
  wait 2 minutes
  i.notificationDelay = 0

 

Modify your original program by changing the line with the notification From:

 Send notification to 'email notification'  Content 'Garage Outside Motion'

to:

Run Program NotificationDelay (If Path)

 

This will notify you then prevent additional notifications until there has been no motion activity for 2 minutes.
