Hello,

I'm a total beginner at Hubitat. I got a simple notification app working, that notifies when power is greater or equal to.

I'm using the Generic Zigbee Outlet. I would like to get notified when power is greater or equal to and that lasts for X number of minutes. But not if it running for less that that time. How can I program this? What type of rule can I use?

best regards

This is pretty easy with the so-called "sticky triggers" feature in Rule Machine, which is the "And stays?" option in the interface. You'll see this when creating your trigger. For example:
