Notifications app little help please

I’m using the notifications app and I setup a notification saying if freezer go above 5 degrees sent notification to app and speakers. Which all works fine. However the notification are sounding off way to fast like every 30 seconds.

What I want is

Notification to repeat once every five minutes until the temperature went back under or at 5 degrees or a maximum of 5 notifications total.

So again 1 notification per 5 minutes total

Total of 5 notifications

Or until trigger resets

Where did I go wrong, thanks

Your sensor is sending multiple events that are ~30s apart. Each event is triggering your notification rule. You should consider using Rule Machine for this particular notification. Something like this rule:

If I just unselect upon next event , then it shouldn’t notify me every 30 seconds. Sound right ?

Don't confuse an additional reporting event as a repeat.

In the context of this notification rule setup here, "repeat" is talking only about the 5-minute notification repeat, not an additional (~30") reporting event.

So I don't think simply unchecking that option will help here -- without a solution like a Private Boolean, then every 30" (or whatever interval) device-level report will still trigger the notification anew.
