2. Name your Notifier child app

6. Choose for how long the event must be true before a notification is sent. For example, if a door is unlocked, should the notification be sent immediately or should it be delayed by a specified number of minutes?
   
   NOTE: If the event you are monitoring becomes false before the specified time has elapsed, such as the lock being once again locked before the 2 minute wait time has been reached as in the example above, then no notification will be sent until the event state is true for the number of minutes you define.
7. Specify how frequently you would like to be notified about an event. Toggle the switch for Only once per day, to limit notifications to one per a single 24 hour period, or you can limit the notifications to once within a specified number of minutes for events that may fluctuate frequently, such the temperature rise or fall.
