Receiving multiple sms notifications

[touchstonemark]

When my piston is triggered I get 4 SMS notifications instead of just one single one.
I should just get a single SMS notification

I am getting three more SMS notifications than expected

Looks like each motion sensor is triggering the SMS on active and inactive, hence the 4 SMS. What did you want the age() statement to do?

[touchstonemark]

Hi, I was trying to get a single alert when someone triggered both the movement sensors due to false alerts when only using a single sensor. The age statement was mean to allow for a gap between each sensor being triggered. ie if both are triggered within 30 seconds of each other then I receive a single alert.

See if constructing it like this yields better result.

Excellent ! does exactly what I wanted with a single txt ! thanks a lot for your help its greatly appreciated
