When the pool door is open and the main door opens Sonos plays a sound. So long everything works as it’s supposed to. But, sometimes the door opens five times within a minute or two (bringing in groceries or whatever from the car) and I don’t want to hear the notification everytime.
How do I make a paus in the flow? The door opens and it makes a notification via Sonos and then a timer starts for five minutes where it pauses. If the door opens several times the next five minutes it doesn’t make a notification. If the door is opened again after six minutes a notification is made and the 5 minute timer starts over.
Every trigger starts a “copy” of the flow, so delays running in one “copy” has no effect on next triggered start.
Only way to do this is to set/check a variable, start and check a timer (e.g chronograph as mentioned) or some other mechanism.
It 100% does work for advanced flows, I use the function a lot. You just need to make sure you don’t have multiple flows within the same canvas otherwise you disable them all. It is a useful way of stopping the flow running again until re-enabled - this works fine with advanced flowd and the example above is an advanced flow.
