Help with Apex alarm

[Gtinnel]

My ATO container water level was low late last night and I have a float switch in it connected through a break out box. I have it set to send an alarm when the switch is closed. I filled it back up around 5pm this evening. So all night and day I received a notification every hour, which I expected. Now that it’s filled back up and the alarm is off I’m still getting texts that were from the alarm status from earlier in the day. Anybody know why it’s doing it?

At 8:05pm I got two texts from the status of the switch from 2:27pm and 4:27pm.

They will eventually fizz out. It shows how slow the text notification system is. Some of mine were on point, but most were hours slow. I was tearing down my 120g, so it went crazy with temp warnings, skim cup warnings and float switches not being in the right places.

I’ve noticed it happen before when I’ve allowed an alarm to stay on for an extended period of time and I know it’ll eventually stop. I just don’t understand why it does it. So it’s just a delay in the text notification aspect of apex? I didn’t think about it but that would explain why I only get the texts and not the email or push notification late too.

Im leaning with the delay in txt notification. Probably a issue between the apex backend and communication with the cell carrier. I have T-Mobile & AT&T, does it with both phones.

My phone is also TMobile but I’m at home and I don’t really have cell signal, so I get normal texts from Wi-Fi. Unless these texts have to come through cell network and I’m just occasionally getting enough signal to recieve the texts.
I didn’t think about it but I only seem to have this issue at home.

Ironically I'm the same with T-mobile (personal phone)

My house is a black hole with tmobile service, so I'm on wifi, AT&T has good service at home and it does the same thing.

I have the same issue with any notifications that stay on for any length of time. My example is my saltwater station. I’ll get an immediate notification once it’s filled with rodi. Between the time of the initial alarm and when I actually mix in the salt and reset the alarm I typically won’t get but one more text. In the middle of the night or the following day I am flooded with texts from the previous days alarm. I haven’t delved into how to program some alarms as non repeating. I’m sure it would involve a virtual outlet with a defer so many minutes then off statement. I’m just too lazy I guess.

This.

I just deal with it, never got too in depth with alarm code either, I'm just happy it does work.

Always in the past I’ve also just waited it out, but as I sit here bored and heard my phone beep it made me more curious.

Yes fortunately the initial alarm is immediate. I’d just the subsequent ones that lag

To be honest, I really only starting noticing this over the past several months. Previously I would get repeat texts every sixty minutes until the alarm was resolved. Maybe something changed within fusion. I’m on Verizon so it’s not carrier specific

Maybe so? Thus my thought on the apex backend being the issue....

Could very well be. Russian hackers? ha

I may end up just turning off text alerts, if I can remember how. The push notification and the email are plenty of alarm for me. That or I’ll get lazy and never change anything and just wait out the texts every time.
