So as I’m sure most you know, the ST multi sensors are notorious for acceleration alerts for no reason. Is there a way to setup a piston that says:
If multisenosr is active twice within a minute period,
send notification.
This way it’ll ignore the random acceleration alerts and only notify me if there is something truly going on worth checking out. Here is what I have currently.
duplicate line 34 within the same if condition and change the and in between the 2 set of conditions to followed by. quickest way, but 1 gotcha is if 2 different devices raise an acceleration event within a minute you will still be notified.
you could save the matching devices from the 2 conditions to 2 different variables. then either text them so you manually verify or send the alert only when they match.
This is what I have so far, but how do I set up the part to notify when they match?
I’m thinking here, so if a device in the first condition set saves to the variable {acceleration2}, fine. Am I correct in thinking that {acceleration} will only be set if the event happens within 2 minutes?
What I don’t want to happen is {acceleration2} gets set, then three hours later {acceleration} gets set (and they match), then I get notified.
right.
after the then add a new if like so if acceleration equals to acceleration2. then send the SMS/notification when this if is true.
Ok I tried doing this, but i don’t have the option to choose a variable to match {acceleration}. It only lets me select Physical Device or expression. Any ideas?
acceleration and acceleration2 are both physical devices. if you change the compare to to physical devices then you will find it in the drop down to the right.
Ok sorry to keep bugging you, but now I can’t get past this screen. What attribute do I select for this?
activities?
EDIT:
Like this?
But this doesn’t seem like it would work because I’m comparing a variable to a physical device?
