Contact Sensor

I have a contact sensor on my mailbox to notify me that I got mail. Sometimes the mailman open and closes it multiple times in less than 1 minute, how can I make it only notify me once with a minute or so, instead of getting rapid fire notifications form it?

Chronograph app can be used like this to control when a sensor input gets used again

I simply let the “mailman notification flow” start another flow, which has only 2 THEN cards:

  • disable “mailman notification flow”
  • enable “mailman notification flow” after 1 minute

Only flaw I see here is when Home restarts just between these 2 AND cards, but that probably will never happen…
