Text Alert Help

[kaxt]

I have my Apex programed to send me an alert if my tank temp goes below 75* or above 82*. My heater failed a couple days ago and the alarm worked as it was supposed to, but the temperature was teetering back and forth between 75 and 75.1. I was out walking the dog and getting a text every 15 seconds that the alarm was on, then off, then on again. I ended up getting over 30 texts before I finished my walk. I realize this is something that is not likely to reoccur, but is there a way to limit the frequency of an alarm?

Thanks!

I use the defer statement on this. Like on my fans if they kick on the defer statement forces them to stay on for x minutes before they cut off. This prevents them from flickering.

It's also commonly used on skimmer to prevent it from coming online for x minutes. It works both ways depending on if you do ON or OFF.
