EWhite Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 i have completely confused myself on this.. i know its something stupid i am missing... i want to have door sensors send me a notification, but only when i am NOT home. what i have so far is still sending notifications even when i am home. Doors - [ID 0004][Parent 0001] If 'Presence Controller / my_phone' On Network is False And 'Presence Controller / my_phone' On Network is not True And ( 'Front Door Sensor' Status is On Or 'Back Door Sensor' Status is On Or 'GarageHouseDoor- Door Sensor' Status is On Or 'GarageBackDoor- Door Sensor' Status is On ) Then Send Notification to 'Mail' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') what am i missing....brain fried...and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kclenden Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I don't see how it would be causing a problem, but I'm curious why you have both "On Network is False" and "On Network is not True". I've only ever seen "not True" included in an IF when there is something in the ELSE that is supposed to run upon a TRUE state, but you don't have anything in the ELSE.

larryllix Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 How long does it take for the "on network" sensing to become True after you get home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBill Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 My thoughts are the same as those already here... get rid of the "is not true" line, and check the actual status of 'Presence Controller / my_phone' On Network node. (I don't have that node server so I'm note sure how it's detecting that or what the delay would be.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWhite Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 i removed the "not true" line... double checked that presence controller is showing true...go open door and get an email still... what the heck is going on ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For situations like yours, i keep my programs in a folder with the condition attached to it. If presence is false then allow programs to run.

Perhaps when testing or experimenting? If you only have a few programs that's easy to answer, if you have a lot right click a program name and search for the door sensor and/or use Raw Text and search for "Notification" without the quotes and with a capital N. Also check the program summary tab and the Last Run Time column. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBill Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 @EWhite Also perhaps the Presence detiction node server isn't behaving as you expect it to. Perhaps when your phone is locked or asleep it's not present. Try a program like this: If 'Presence Controller / my_phone' On Network is False then Notify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
