Hi,
I’ve set up the following flow to monitor my central heating kitchen zone and trigger another flow to heat it if it is below a certain temperature. It’s a bit rudimentary but it works. This afternoon I’ve noticed that for one flow of information from the 5 minute repeating delay to the retrieval of the climate sensor temperature I’m seeing loads of identical debug messages. I cannot work out why.
Can anyone spot anything obvious and help me out at all please?
Many thanks,
Matt
The flow looks like this:
And an export of it is below.
