How does the current state node detect a sensor’s state change is this automatic or do I need a injection node?
Below is the basic flow to detected when sensor.piralarm sensor goes high for 0.5/sec then goes to debug. Issue is testing via my IOT device or via the /developer-tools/state I can change the sensor to on|off but the current state node does detect this by itself?
Ultimately I am trying to detect when the sensor state change to ‘on’ then delay for 3minutes before starting another flow to download a image from a remote FTP server rather than the flow checking and downloading the image file every 15minutes.
