I have a contact sensor that is repeating events back to back. The open/close event occurs twice within the same second. I have a Rule Machine rule configured that announces when a door (contact sensor) is opened. Often that announcement is spoken twice. Perhaps Hubitat could ignore the second event if it occurs within 500ms or so of the original instead of sending it?
Pretty sure I fixed this already, but will have another look.
Do you mean in a future firmware release you have it fixed?
I am running 1.0.1.698 and seeing this.
This particular device is using the “Generic Z-Wave Contact Sensor” driver.
I fixed it for one specific device, apparently there are others that issue two separate reports for contact events. Btw, two events in the live logs doesn’t translate to two events from an apps pov, an app will only receive one as they generally subscribe to state changes only.
I assume the sensor does it to make sure the notice is received by the hub. Rule Machine doesn’t speak the event every time in double, but it’s a pretty high percentage (probably 80%) on that sensor.
