I'm looking to create a file (or email, since that seems easier to me since I'm not very informed at ISY programming) that contains "This status changed to: "On" at 3:32pm"

 

I can write a simple program to email me at the time of the event (an ELK zone / alarm status change), but I think it will keep emailing me until the status changes to something else?

 

Something like this:

 

IF: ELK, Zone 1, Status, is Violated, 

 

Then: email me (preset message which identifies Zone# , plus timestamp variable)

 

 

 

I'm looking to just get only 1 email (or generate 1 text file, better yet) for each change of state - how would I go about this?

 

Thanks!

The Status has to change to trigger the Program so there will not be continuous emails.  Of course if the Zone switches to violated multiple times there would be multiple emails.

Thanks for your input - You are exactly right.  Not what I expected but I'm glad it's simple.  I get multiple emails from leak sensors (insteon wireless) but I guess that's because they send multiple signals if they stay wet.
