Hey there, using the notifications app, I created a notification for a door. I want it to notify when it opens, and repeat every 5m until it's closed, then notify once that it closed. I have notifications turned on for open and close, 5m interval, and the option to stop the repeat notifications on event change, assuming this was what would make it notify only once on close. However, after setting up the rule and opening the door for the first time, I was getting a notification every 5m when the door opened and stayed open (saying it's open), but I am also getting a notification every 5m now that it's closed (saying it's closed). I could create two rules for open and close with different notification settings, but I'm wondering if it could be done with one rule (using this app).
I'd suggest posting a screenshot of what you have setup so far, at least to help other understand what you intend to create.
@vasilios This is how I do mine (but I use multiple doors for the trigger) Rule resets when door closes. Notifications can be muted.
This is why you are getting notifications for both.
This app can do most of what you want (if you select only the option you care about), but it can't send a notification once the event or condition that started notifications is no longer in effect (a different inatwncd could send one when the event happens, but it womt know if you repeated notifications in the other instance started happening yet, assuming you only care to get one in this case).
While that would be an interesting feature request for @bravenel, the only way to do this at the moment is to use some other approach, such as a Rule like suggested above. There are many examples in the RM docs for repeated notifications as well.
