I use the following program to send me NOAA Weather alerts. It works as intended. However, the program repeats the Then commands every time the NOAA Plug-in Polls NOAA if the alert hasn't changed.

Is there something I can change in my program to eliminate repeating the 'The" commands?

Thank you!

 

If
        'Plug-Ins / NOAA Weather' Alert is Blizzard Warning
 
Then
        Set 'Plug-Ins / Notification Controller / UD Mobile' Send Message Sound 'Small Resonant Alarm' Content 96 Notification ID (ID=96)
        $Blizzard_Warning  = 1
 
Else
        $Blizzard_Warning  = 0
 

Edit.. Forgot about the else, I think my suggestion will also toggle back and forth

 

I would try adding/testing to the if:

And
        $Blizzard_warning not equal 1

I'm assuming that it stays 1 during the blizzard and doesn't toggle back and forth

The variable does stay at 1 as long as NOAA has a Blizzard Warning alert. It does not toggle back and forth. 

If I add  $Blizzard_warning not equal 1 as you suggest, how does that stop the program from running the "Then" portion of the program?

To add more information. We went from a Winter Storm Warning to a Blizzard Warning and my Winter Storm notification is triggering. It appears that even though the alert changed the old alert is still there.

just have the "then" set the variable.. then add another program triggered by that variable...easiest fix...

 

If
        'Plug-Ins / NOAA Weather' Alert is Blizzard Warning
 
Then
        $Blizzard_Warning  = 1
 
Else
        $Blizzard_Warning  = 0



If
        $Blizzard_Warning  = 1
 
Then
        Set 'Plug-Ins / Notification Controller / UD Mobile' Send Message Sound 'Small Resonant Alarm' Content 96 Notification ID (ID=96)

Thank you, @EWhite! This solved my issue.
