rick.curl Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm trying to use a 2421 TriggerLinc to send a text to my cell phone when our mailbox is opened. The program is very simple: If Status 'Mailbox-opened' is on Then Send Notification to 'Default' content 'Mailbox is open' Else -No actions When I move the magnet away from the TriggerLinc I can see the state change to "on". I can see the program run, but I never receive a notification. If I go to "Configuration > Emails/Notifications" and select "default" and then click on "test" I receive a text message. I'm obviously doing something wrong. What is it? Thanks! -Rick Link to comment

rick.curl Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hi Jon- Thanks for the suggestion. I originally had it set to "Control" instead of "Status". When it's set to Control, I see the program start but it never stops, even after closing the mailbox. If I set it to "Status" it runs when the mailbox is open and stops when it is closed. unfortunately I don't receive the notification either way. I just changed it back to "control" and double-checked. I don't understand all that I know about this! -Rick Link to comment

Your program would run so fast that you would not likely ever see the solid colour. The green colour is a remnant that will stay to indicate your program last ran True = Then section. This is normal behaviour. You could add a wait 5 seconds fr testing so you can see the different states. Link to comment
