WeatherBug & Text Program

Created a program to advise me when the temp is <=32 degrees. Well, when the temp reached that level and I received about 50 texts. Any way to limit the text to just one?

I think the temp value is actually an xx.yy value. Any change in temp will trigger the Program again. You can AND an If Variable is 0 (arbitrary value) that allows the Then clause (True) to run. In the Then clause set the Variable to 1 which will stop the Then clause from running during additional temp changes. Another Program resets the Variable to 0 when the temp goes above 32.

I'm new at this, so here's what I did. Is this correct?

 

Program 1: If temp <=32 and $Temperature (new variable I created without values)=0, then send notification text (Low Temp) and set $Temperature=1.

Program 2: If temp >=90 and $Temperature=0, then send notification text (High Temp) and set $Temperature=1

Program 3: If temp >32 and <90, then set $Temperature=0.

 

Thanks.

You are right on, that is the concept. The variable should be an Integer variable, as opposed to a State variable.

Got it. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how would I program a non-repeating text to advise me that the temperature is now between 33 and 89 without the same repeating problem? Define a different variable and essentially do the reverse?

[LeeG]

Same concept, different variable. The 32 and below program and 90 and above program reset this additional variable.

Yup, that's what I did. Interesting. This is fun! Thanks.
