Doorbell rule confusion

---

Hi everyone,

I bought a cheap Elro RF doorbell and i would like pimatic to send me an email when someone is ringing at my door. However, it only sends me an email when the button is pressed twice. I use pir3 protocol.

This is what i get when the button is pressed the first time. Pimatic clearly receives the RF signal:

Am i doing something wrong here?

Can you post the rule for the send mail?

The first time the device sends:
pir3: { id: 50922, unit: 10860, presence: true }
The second time:
pir3: { id: 13632, unit: 31276, presence: true }

I guess you only created a device with the later settings?

@koffienl i didn’t, that’s a bit silly . The rule is:
When Doorbell signals present then send mail to:"user@gmail.com" subject:"Blah!" text:"Blahblah!"

@rrooggiieerr Yes you’re right, i didn’t even notice that because i assumed that the doorbell would sent the same output each time. So i guess making an extra device with the first settings will do the trick, thanx!
