Hi,
So I am monitoring temperature with an ESP8266… When temp is above a certain value (Say 50F) I want one trigger sent… Not multiple… Is this possible within the trigger setup? Or do I have add some background code…
So the one shot trigger worked… I also had to create another trigger to turn this trigger back off… Otherwise I would still receive triggers.
no, you dont, what kind of trigger have you added?
Well I thought it worked… However I still received false triggers overnight…
So my threshold is 100… Rising trigger… The value was at 160 all night… When I watch the code run I can see the Trigger Channel send a value of 1 when the threshold is crossed… Then it stops send anything on that channel… (until the threshold is crossed)
can you share the code you have used in this case.

i see you have added a digital actuator on channel 7 and then you are using another trigger to turn it off.
where did you get this data type from door_open and door_closed Cayenne.virtualWrite(channel, 1, "door_open", "x"); //set trigger two-state widget to 1
can you just use the code from the link I shared above and only change:
#define DATA_CHANNEL 0
#define TRIGGER_CHANNEL 1
#define THRESHOLD 200
sensor_value to your sensor data.
sendTriggerValue(TRIGGER_CHANNEL, sensor_value, THRESHOLD, sendBelowThreshold);`
Remove all the widgets and upload the code. Add a generic digital input sensor to the trigger channel you have selected and set trigger to this widget.
ok … I will try again… I made the change to “door_open” because I was hoping to get the SMS message to say something else… Other than “on”…
changing won’t change the SMS content as the SMS text which is fixed and cannot be changed. For different data types, have a look at this Data types for Cayenne MQTT API
ok re did everything… After a closer look I saw this… 160 set value… 100 Threshold… Random jump down to 62 which set off trigger… I think I found my issue… Thanks.
