I’m working on a rule to send a sms notification based on power usage. The rule is set with a trigger of the power changing and greater than 100. When the trigger happens the smart plug reports every change in the power usage up until the time the usage stops resulting in multiple notifications each time the power changes.
Is there a way to only have the rule send the 1st notification and ignore the subsequent changes? Something like a timer with a 15 delay would solve the problem.
Create a rule to be triggered when the power is greater than 100 as the trigger. Add an IF condition in the flow to check if the variable created created in previous step to determine if it should continue to send the message. And toggle the variable if so.
