Simply to put the required delay in there rather than in NR with timer and stop timer node (or similar). It's more beneficial when you need multiple sensors but I just find it cleaner logic wise to do anyway.
Ah, OK, in that case, forget everything I just typed!

I think the idea was because it was off-topic for a while is all so making a linked thread to clean things up could be smart.

Well - I think I found a node that does exactly what I do with that code, so scratch what I typed as well!!

As usual with NR there are always more ways to skin a cat!

Here is a good thread of common palette choices which may come in handy when you are on the hunt.

i’ll second the stoptimer-varidelay. i tried several timer nodes and that one is the best. it counts down below the node, and it will remember long delays through a reboot too.

Does anyone know of a way to send a notification to the HE app (on iPhone) from Node-red? I use Pushover for some notification (only to my phone) but I know I will get pushback if I ask family members to install "yet another app". Currently, I am using the Notification app on HE.
I can't answer that for you but my choice for sending messages to my phone from NR has been to send email to my provider's email-to-sms gateway (vtext.com, for Verizon) and I get it on my phone.

If you have your phone exposed to NR via Maker then it's an option in NR. This works for me.

Email-to-SMS is definitely the way to go. You can even use msg.topic to give your SMS notifications a bolded subject as seen below.
Everyone’s phone receives SMS/MMS - no special app required. And SMS/MMS is platform/carrier agnostic. And this is a reliable as using any other notification service (HE app, Pushover, Twilio, etc).

Yep yep
@aaiyar Are you using HTML markup to make it bold? Or this that an iPhone thing? Mine comes in between parens for Android

Must be an iPhone thing. I'm definitely not using HTML markup.
But I believe that @rakeshg is an iOS kind-a-guy!

If they had a Wi-Fi analyzer 1/2 as good as any of the ones available for droid I MIGHT consider one.
My guess is Apple doesn't allow devs direct access to the wireless card needed for such an app. All I know is they have none (if someone has a decent one please share), and I use one all the time for AP deployment and location RSSI testing.

Yep - all in with Apple 
BTW - the solution from @wecoyote5 was exactly what I was looking for (plugs right into HE app notification). Since all my Node-red stuff is currently HE related, this works.

Did they every make it so there was a log or list of them? I stopped using it since every time I got them it was a tease. When I went to check them, they were gone.
