    Alarm?

    Is there a way to only send Alarm once or twice for certain events?

    Only if you clear the event. As long as the event stays true then it will send an alarm. You could do some creative programming using virtual outlet latches to make the event only stay true long enough to get the alert and then reset back to false but that would be the only way.

    You don't need latches but you do need a virtual outlet set up like this. Example is an optical closes.

    HighH2O
    Set OFF
    If ATOhigh CLOSED Then ON
    If Output HighH2Ostop = ON Then OFF
    Defer 000:10 Then ON

    HighH2Ostop
    Set OFF
    If ATOhigh CLOSED Then ON
    Defer 001:00 Then OFF

    This will send two messages. Once when water level has been high for 10 seconds then a set OFF 50 seconds later, then it will not send an alert again until the sensor has opened and then CLOSED again.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    If you use the solution the zombie proposed don't forget to add:

    If Output HighH2O = ON Then ON

    Into your email alarm outlet and remove the alert for ATOhigh that is sending the alerts now. I realize that these are not the names you may be using but I wanted to stay true to the example being posted.
