How to stop runIn()?

SmartApps & Automations
1

Maybe it’s just as simple as calling runIn() again but I can’t seem to confirm how to do this. What I’d like to do is delay the setNoMotionTemp() event by x minutes but if motion is detected again unset the runIn() set by noMotionHandler().

unschedule()

Isn’t that going to unsubscribe all the events?

Random sidenote, any idea why my console log doesn’t work :frowning: . This is making it impossible to debug. I’m just using virtual thermos and motions and the log.debug command you see above.

No… Just anything you have scheduled in your app (which runIn does).

I’d contact support if your logs are not working.

I switched some stuff up so it all runs in one eventHandler function and it seems to immediately run the inactive motion setTemp which is frustrating. Can you see anything weird? I tried both the unsubscribe and what I have below (runIn(0, …)).

I also admittedly don’t have a good way to test the result of evt.value, does that seem like it’d work?

Not unsubscribe; unschedule().

Hah ya, I figured that out last night doh :slight_smile: Thanks!

Also, if your console stops working, just log out and log back in to the IDE. Should bring it right back.
