Pausing based on value (not Error)

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if it is possible to do the following:

Say we have a few process coolers, they rotate around the room, so some are on standby and some are actually running.

I would like to pause the sensors on the ones on standby automatically because they give false readings.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks, Tim

Hi there,

therefore you would need two Sensors. The first Sensor checks the state of the coolers and if the state is "standby" a notification is triggers which executes a API call that pauses the other Sensors which queries the cooler.
