def send_trigger_value(trigger_channel, sensor_value, threshold, send_below_threshold):

    global crossed_threshold

    if (((sensor_value >= threshold) and not send_below_threshold) or ((sensor_value < threshold) and send_below_threshold)):

        if not crossed_threshold:

            client.virtualWrite(trigger_channel, 1, "digital_sensor", "d")

            crossed_threshold = True

    else:

        client.virtualWrite(trigger_channel, 0, "digital_sensor", "d")

        crossed_threshold = False





while True:

    client.loop()

    if (time.time() > timestamp + 10):

        sensor_value =  i

        client.celsiusWrite(DATA_CHANNEL, sensor_value)

        send_trigger_value(TRIGGER_CHANNEL, sensor_value, THRESHOLD, send_below_threshold)

        timestamp = time.time()

        i = i + 1

        if (i == 12): # Reset the sensor value to test that the trigger gets reset.

            i = 0

Im sure. It may not be every 2 seconds… maybe as the code says it is every 12 seconds but still constant notifications.
I need more like
If IO == 1 then send notification
not
While == 1 send notifications

Is this possible?
