I'm looking for a work around to a few alarm related questions.
1) I've got alarms I only want to be notified of once such as my Avast Simmer Locker being full. I don't need hourly updates of this. With some other help I creating two virtual outlets to try and snuff this out but haven't tested yet so let me know if this looks wrong.
[Locker_Alarm]
Set OFF
If Locker OPEN Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then ON
[Locker_Full]
Set OFF
If Locker OPEN Then ON
If Output Locker-long = ON Then OFF
Then under alarm replace the locker line with
If Output Locker_Full = ON Then ON
2) How do I prevent an alarm from sounding in the middle of the night that isn't actually urgent? Again the Skimmer locker. I've changed my phone to assign an especially loud alarm to my Apex notifications and to by-pass my do not disturb which now posses a problem. Is there a line of code I can add to the above to accomplish this? I suspect it's one or the other because if it defers from say 12am to 7am that's obviously more then the 5min defer I currently have on the virtual outlet.
3) Despite my especially loud notification I don't always catch it the first time and for things like the leak detection I'd like it to go off very frequently. Wondering if there is a way to do this using a virtual outlet instead of adjusting my default notifications from 60min to say 10min since that would pose a problem to all my other alarms like pH. Perhaps trick it using a virtual outlet and some sort of 10min defer to make it think there is a new alarm.
