Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has figured a way to reset "once per day" notifications. Sometimes I accidentally trip my mailbox motion notification, and would like to reset it so I get another notification when the real mail comes.
It would be easier for someone to help if they knew which app you are using for this.
If this is not an app and just a rule, just create another rule with a virtual button that resets a global variable that determines if the notification was sent that day.
That global variable will need to be reset everyday at midnight or something so that the next day it will notify you.
Hi sorry, I'm using the built-in Notifications app. I realize I could create an override function by doing it with Rule instead, but wanted to see if there was a way with the built-in app first.
Sorry, don't know anything about that app 
I don't have an answer but I don't restrict the mailbox notifications to once per day because we sometimes get more than delivery placed in our mailbox in any given day. FedEx and UPS will also put smaller items in the mailbox if they are in the mood. If they're not in the mood, they just throw it at the front door.
I was thinking about putting that logic into my mailbox notification but then I observed that in our use case, the mail opens alternatively between mail going in and my getting the mail.
So I just have a “You have mail” virtual switch that toggles when mailbox is opened. On the very rare occasion that I put mail into the mailbox and it gets out of sync, I just touch this notification tile on my dashboard to make it right.
The only idea I had was manually going into the app and hitting the "Done" button just to see if that reset things. This appears to work in at least some cases, though I couldn't quite tell in my first test (when I failed to actually select a notification device). But it's not documented behavior and is likely just a "side effect" of how the app currently works, so if you want something that you know will always work in a specific way, I'd try a rule. You'll also need that if you want a way to automate this, since this workaround involves using the admin UI to navigate to the actual app page.
Trying that today... I actually turned the switch off, hit done, then opened it again and turned it back on, and hit done. Let's see if it works.
I don't see any mention of a switch above; I assumed the mailbox sensor was a contact sensor, and this "triggered" your notification. If you have a switch as a restriction, that's fine, but if you're already using the Notifications app to restrict it to once per day and don't have any other use for the switch, I don't see why you'd need it. If the switch is really your sensor and that just happens to be how you're detecting this in the first place, then nevermind. 
Right, I meant the switch/option in the app itself for only notifying once per day. Not actually a real switch in the switchy sense of the word.
