Motion - [iD 003B][Parent 005D]

 

If

        Control 'Gate Motion Detected' is switched On

 

Then

        Set 'Rear Floods' Fast On

        Run Program 'Motion Alerts' (Then Path)

        Send Notification to 'Jim Text' content 'Motion Side'

        Wait  5 seconds

        Send Notification to 'Deidra Text' content 'Motion Side'

        Wait  5 minutes 

        Set 'Rear Floods' Off

        Send Notification to 'Jim Text' content 'Motion Side Off'

 

Else

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

 

 

For some reason the ISY is re-sending 'Jim Text' when it sends 'Deidra Text', so I am getting 2 texts, 5 seconds apart.  I know it's the ISY because of the time stamp:

 

alerts@universal-devices.com (Motion Detected) Back Yard Gate at 1:34:52 AM on 2016/08/02

 

alerts@universal-devices.com (Motion Detected) Back Yard Gate at 1:34:57 AM on 2016/08/02

 

Ideas?  Thanks

 

Bear in mind, each time the motion sensor is triggered, it will terminate the program and restart it.

 

Could you be having two motion sensor triggers 5 seconds apart?

That's what I initially thought, too, but a)the minimum time is 30 seconds (I believe that's where I set it, also) and it seems like it would send both recipients two messages not just one recipient.  My wife (Deidra) only gets one.

The fact that you get two, but your wife only get one seems to indicate that the first activation got cancelled after sending your notification, then run again - sending you a second and your wife her first.

 

Try switching the notifications around and see if the problem switches...

Also, remember that when the sensor switches 'Off' - it will also cancel the run (and start running the Else clause - but you have nothing in this clause).

Yeah, going to switch them around and see what happens.
