Push Notification for Thermostat Adjustment

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I cannot seem to find a way for the piston to send me a push alert or text message. I’m not sure if it stems from the If script I set or the Then script I set. I’ve varied a few ways. I’m at a loss.

2) What is the expected behavior?
When the setpoint is adjusted in any way, for a SMS or Push (Actually prefer both) to be sent with a short message alerting me.

3) What is happening/not happening?
No messages or push alerts.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)
Log is empty.

My in-laws love to adjust the thermostat when they are here. All of them… It’s like its bred into them. So I really need a way to be alerted. Even if they are just dropping something off, they will walk by the thermostat and adjust it. The next one comes by 2 minutes later and adjusts it. I’m half tempted to bury it in the wall and mud over it. Just use the app. But, until then, I at least need these alerts. Thank you so much community!

Here is how I do that…

Change your if statement to remove the in the last 5 seconds. Just check for when it changes.

Also when adding an action if you just leave it on the default location instead of selecting a variable. Shouldn’t affect it but just an extra step that is not needed

Thanks! I’m still a noob at this. I didn’t realize the difference in the Condition and Triggers until you mentioned that.
