Ok, I'm fairly new to Node-Red, but I have used flow based automation before. I know enough to tinker and make some sloppy flows. Right now I'm having an issue with limiting repeat notification triggers. I know I'm missing some logic that I can't think of. I ended up splitting out a few things to troubleshoot, but I feel like there's a cleaner solution. Can anyone help educate me on how to construct my flow better?

Hi @Sitruk welcome to the forum.

What are all these blue nodes? They are not core node-red nodes.

Am I right in thinknig those are Home Automation nodes? If so, you wont get a great deal of help here - you may have more luck in the HA forum.

That said, I can answer partly....

If you mean something "the same" happens and you only wish for the message to _flow_ once (or when it changes) then the RBE (aka filter) node is probably what you need.

This might help: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVEssXBFKFQ&t=0s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVEssXBFKFQ&t=0s)

Yes home assistant. That's fair.  
Yes, I'm trying to get it to not notify me that I'm home if I was already at home.I'll check that out.

Thank you for your assistance!
