I have a flow that notifies me if motion is triggered in my basement between 10PM and 6AM. It works but the flow will send multiple messages to my phone as motion is detected in a short period of time.
Is there a way to stop the flow from been triggered for a set amount of time?
I’m not sure if this is the best method but I just use an input boolean as a condition, turn it off after the flows finished, set a timer to turn it back on after X amount of time.
Assuming that you want only a message every eg 10 minutes put a delay node between the first two nodes. And change the delay node into its other mode:
Then only one message will reach the “motion” node in a 10 minutes window.
