This is re visiting an old rule you guys on here helped me create, just to make things entertaining while adding security. The problem is if the door is opened and closed quickly the automation doesn't won't say the last action due to having to finish the previous action, will it be possible cancel the previous automation when the door is closed so I don't hear its opened again please
Couple of ways:
Put a wait for event elapsed time as your first action. If the rule retriggers in the time you set it will start the timer again.
You can also use a required expression and the private boolean. Set the required expression to be private boolean true. Set the first action to private boolean false and then set it back true when the rule is complete.
