cksedg Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I have a leak sensor linked to a siren, to tell me if there is water in the water heater area. It also announces on Alexa that there is a leak. Also, it sends me a text message if there is a leak. All this works; however, I continue to get text messages, even without a leak. The messages came every single day at 1:00 a.m., never fail, but the siren did not sound and Alexa did not announce. Kind of annoying, but once a day was tolerable. Now, after some adjustments to the links, I am getting the text messages promptly every 10 minutes. Still no siren or Alexa announcement. Any suggestions? Thanks, Craig
MrBill Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 right click the programs that send notifications program name and pick copy to clipboard, then paste them into a message. We have no idea what the programming issue is without seeing the program. If it's programs that are linked by variables or otherwise be sure to post other interrelated programs also.
cksedg Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 Never mind! Figured it out. I had a repeat every 10 minutes in a program. However, that doesn't explain why the message comes once a day.

cksedg Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 Leak Wet Alert - Water Heaters - [ID 0008][Parent 0001] If 'Siren, Chime, Relay / Water Heater Leak .2 - Wet' Status is On Then Send Notification to 'Craig Sedgwick - text' content 'Wet Sensor Alert' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
Solution MrBill Posted June 13, 2022 Solution Posted June 13, 2022 that program shouldn't be sending anything at 1AM. however I would send the notification off the sensor itself and not the siren which is apparently in the scene, unless that's just a confusing folder name and the device is the leak sensor. You might right click a program name and then pick Find/Replace. Change the drop down to "raw text" and type "Notification" without the quotes and with a Capital N and then cycle thru your programs with the find button to see if there is anything else that could be sending the notification in error. 1
cksedg Posted June 14, 2022 Author Posted June 14, 2022 Thanks for your help. I will try as soon as I can.
cksedg Posted June 14, 2022 Author Posted June 14, 2022 I think I found it, thanks to your awesome help on searching through all my programs for "Notification." It was a stray program that I don't even know what it did. It didn't make any sense. I deleted it, and hopefully all will be well now! Thanks again! 1
