Hi All,
So i’m working on an automation, simple, check if its hotter outside than inside, if it is, send me a message a few times and then no more. I saw that there is a ‘delay node’ where I could set a “rate limit” to only send something like 10msg’s per 1 day.
When I try this, everything executes one time, and after that, it stops running. even my “events: state node” stops updating after one message. I have to re-deploy in order for it to work again. I currently have it set to 10 messages per day but at most I can only get 1 before the whole automation just kinda dies. Maybe im misunderstanding?
Logic: Office temperature hotter than backyard temp, is it between 5pm and 11:59PM, limit messages to only 10 per 1 day, check to make sure I’m home, send me a message.
