Script being repeated every few minutes

Hi all,
I have a blocky going for when a shed door is opened.
I want it to go off just the once, but it seems to repeat setting everything off again every 3-5 minutes, (not timed it, damn annoying).
What command can i pop in there so it only occurs the once (when triggered)?

Hi Stuart,
Is the sensor not sending it status each 3-5 minutes. Maybe you can add an extra dummy with the previous state of your sensor.
If you sensor state and the previous state is equal then nothing should happen. If the sensor state and the previous staet is different that you preform your actions and also update the state of you dummy switch to the new state.

Ive a similar blocky script involving windows, but doesnt contain anything about times, that works fine. This script is a real pain for repeatinly sounding alarm and lighting lights.
I like your thought on the dummy switch, i'll look into that. Cheers

By design scripts have no knowledge of previous activity. The status could be stored in a dummy switch as stated in an earlier post or you could use a "user variable" to store the actual status. In your script you could check the status and take action.... or not.
