I am a newbie. Now that’s clear need some help on my first piston.
I have a piston built that states if there is motion on a multisensor then make my google home speakers state :Motion Detected:
This works perfectly. However, how do i put a cooling off period afterwards. Otherwise it just keeps going off every single time the motion is detected.

Well that’s not a snapshot lol… use the green snapshot button to generate an image you can share.
Right now you have it announcing anytime that the motion status changes. So, you will get the announcement when motion is detected and also when it clears.
I’m guessing that you want it to announce when motion sensor one changes to ACTIVE.
That is still probably too often, but it will give you a start.
Thanks HAL, Do any of you guys have experience with google home integrations? I setup cast-web in GitHub so that my homes are all active in smart things. Right now I have it setup on a smart app but would rather web core do everything. Is there a piston out there for that. I said this one was working but its very hit and miss
