PLA is biodegradable. Best not use that outside.

Hi all, Bit of old topic but ive just made one of these using an aqara water leak sensor and a mount ive found on thingiverse. Seems to work fine but im struggling with the flow.

I have it so that when the water alarm is turned on I get an announcement on my Sonos. But for some reason when water is dripping off the sensor it keeps triggering the announcement over and over again.

How do I make a flow where it will only notify me say once within the hour and not over and over again.

Thanks

Create a new variable type Boolean  
When the alarm triggers set it to Yes  
After an hour set it to No  
In your flow add a logic card if variable is “No”

This way the flow will only run once and after that 1st run stops at the logic card  
Until the hour has passed
