I run WebControl on an ISY and have been trying to get a simple reminder working for the cordless vacuum I use around the house. The plan was to have WebControl watch a program or state and send me a notification when a run finishes, so the vacuum actually gets put back on the charger instead of sitting dead in the closet.

I'm not sure how to approach this cleanly. I don't want the reminder firing every time anything else in the program changes, and I'm worried about creating repeated notifications that I'll end up ignoring. I also haven't figured out whether a single program with a wait is better than a state variable I can reset manually after I plug it in.

For anyone running WebControl programs with notifications, how do you keep them from repeating and how do you reset them once the task is done? Is a state variable the usual way, or is there a simpler pattern?

I am sorry but this is not what Webcontrol832 does. Perhaps you have mistaken something else you are running with this plugin.

If you are running WebControl 8 or 832 plugin, how are you triggering what you want to happen, thru one of the inputs or analog inputs?

Or are you controlling the charger thru one of the ouptuts?
