    More event help?

    Guys, Thanks for your help with the events. I have one more that is just killing me. I have a door/window sensor and a wgl-800. I want to trigger a TTS if the door is open for 5 minutes but whatever I do the TTS repeats indefinatly. It's maddening and I am starting to upset everyone in the house! How do I trigger just one announcment even though the door remains open? Thanks again

    Is this a different problem than the one Mark responded to earlier?
    Use a trigger type of Recurring, set the interval to 5 minutes, then add a condition to test for the front door being open.
    Without the condition, the event would run every 5 minutes, so the condition is your gatekeeper to it triggering or not.
    It may be helpful to post a screen shot of your event setup. That might trigger some more suggestions.

      My suspicion is that you need to set the trigger to the 'has been ON (or OFF, depending which is correct for your situation) for exactly 5 minutes. That way the event should only trigger once because exactly only occurs once.
