Any code to filter motion detector?

Jeff, I implemented something similar in a SmartApp that monitors my garage fridgerator. You can review the entire post here:

Arduino ThingShield Fridge/Freezer Monitor Projects & Stories

Having lost a lot of food and beverages when my previous garage refrigerator failed, I have been a little paranoid about it happening again. For the past few years I have been using a temperature monitor that integrates with a La Crosse weather station I bought. But this solution has been very limited and is mostly false positives and has an annual fee. I get alerted via email when my children go raiding the freezer for ice cream as an example. I recently bought an Arduino and decided to tackle something to alert me based on my criteria instead. Thus the Fridge Monitor was developed. I would assume others in the Community live in areas with warm summers or have young children so I thought I would share this project. Parts you will need: Arduino Uno R3 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0…

In that article is a link to the SmartApp code as well as here:

Basically I set a state variable with a time stamp and then compare it to a threshold to determine if I need to perform an action.

I hope this helps.
