I was hoping to use latching triggers for my temperature controlled fans, but I can't quite do it yet. I need to get notified when it is Hot in my attic, and then again when it is not hot. It would be great if you could send the trigger on both the transition to true *and* the transition to false, but none of the other field changes.

(currently I use a RegExp to trigger on all value changes close to my threshold temp - I get more triggers than I need, but it works).

Yeh, makes sense. I'll add it to the list.

Here I am needing this feature again. Has it been implemented yet?
First time I need it was based on temperature which changed slowly enough that I could just trigger a bunch of values near the transition. This time I am triggering on power usage so I can get a "The dryer is finished" type message. Power changes very quickly though and I can't just get a bunch of values near the transition because I could miss it.
Thanks -- Bob

You know, I don't remember. I'll look at that tomorrow.

A quick check seems to indicate it was not done, though it also seems (to my very tired late night brain) like it might not be very difficult to do. That could be famous last words though.

OK, 5.3.913 supports uni or bidirectional latching.
