Disabling retriggers

[larryllix]

For the purpose of this illustration I will use the multiple Notifications problem, being a common one for many, but this could apply to any response taken from an event trigger where repeated actions could be an unwanted effect.

 

 

A common method of avoiding multiple notifications is to have a second disabled program disable the first, and triggering, program for a set amount of time.

 

 

Program.1

--------------

If

    water_leak_detected

Then

    run program.2

Else

   --

 

Program.2

--------------

If

    --

Then

    disable Program1

    send notification "we got leaks!"

    wait 1 hour

    enable Program.1

Else

   --

 

 

Can anyone see a problem with using only a single program (below) to do this same thing?

The program would already be triggered and disabling it would not stop it's progress.

Could this be caught in a power failure and lock out as disabled?

 

 

Program

--------------

If

    water_leak_detected

Then

    disable Program

    send notification "we got leaks!"

    wait 1 hour

    enable Program

Else

   --

 

 

 

Thoughts?

Unfortunately Disabling the running Program stops the Program.  The statement after the Disable executes but that is all.

 

Program AAA2

 

If

        Control 'SwitchLinc Dimmer DB' is switched On

 

Then

        Disable Program 'AAA2'

        Send X10 'A5/On (3)'

        Wait  5 seconds

        Send X10 'A6/On (3)'

        Wait  5 seconds

        Send X10 'A7/On (3)'

        Wait  5 seconds

        Send X10 'A8/On (3)'

        Enable Program 'AAA2'

 

Else

   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Reduce your Wait from 1 hour to 30 seconds.  The Program will not Enable itself.

Thanks LeeG. That's what I was looking for!

 

Your event reading skills are invaluable here. (jealous) I haven't spent the time to learn that, which is unlike my usual behaviour.

[ravedog]

Why learn? I've added the LeeG module (1$). SUCH a great investment!

Hi ravdog,

 

I agree wholeheartedly. To be honest, not one week goes by without me learning something from LeeG. But, then again, why learn?

 

LeeG, thanks AS ALWAYS.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
