Simple repeating Alert

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I have a temp sensor in my garage fridge. I want to get an alert every X minutes if the temp rises above 39 degress.

2) What is the expected behavior?
Continued repeating alerts.

3) What is happening/not happening?
I can get alerts based on time, but they are just a one time alert. I want it to repeat. Very, very similiar to the Door alert two piston setup in the examples. I actually started to modify that one, and I’m sure it would work. Just seems overly complex for my situation. I want an alert for one device. I created a while loop, but it never triggered. I also don’t think I want to set a continuing timer to run every X minutes with a nested if.

I can do this, if that’s really the best way. I’m sure it does not hurt anything, I just try to limit the amount of timers running at any given time.

Try this as starting point.

I’m going to try this. I felt like this is what i tried the other day and it never kicked off, but. I may have been off by a bit, thanks!

Refresh the temp sensor so that it will trigger the piston. By itself, it won’t do anything until there’s a temp update.

Ha, that was probably it. It worked. Thanks!
