Hawkeye motion senser and BVC

[dahur]

I installed a switch in my bedroom to turn off every phone in the house except my bedroom.  Sometimes after I ground my son from the phone, and I turn them off, he goes in my room and flips the switch back on, unbeknownst to me.
I put a Hawkeye motion sensor near the switch, which is on the baseboard. I put the sensor on C1. After creating a ghost module for C1, I put a Listen for C1 on in BVC, that says " there is someone near the phone switch".   I wonder if  the sensor sends  the on signal multiple times, because BVC repeats the message 3 or 4 times.
I solved it by creating the simple macro
Trigger C1 on
Delay 4 seconds
Turn on ghost module C3
delay 2 seconds
Turn off ghost module C3
Put the BVC Listener for C3 on

Of course he's out of the room by time I hear the message, but at least BVC lets me know!  And it doesn't keep repeating with the macro.
There may be a way of not having it repeat without the macro, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

Yeah, BVC attempts to respond to every signal the device sends.

Sometimes you can cut down on the multiple responses by changing the Listener to listen for RF or Powerline ONLY, although that is not always sufficient.


So, what happens if you shorten or even remove the first delay?

I just removed the 1st delay, and it still works, just a little faster-thanks for the suggestion.

I was hoping that would be the result.
