I want to check a global variable every 15 minutes and reset it to the correct state, if it is not already in the correct state.

Timed events seems to limit such activity to checking Daily every hour. Is there a Timed function that allows more frequent triggering?

An example may help. I have a sensor in the garage which turns on an inside garage light and also announces "I've sensed movement in the garage." It turns off the garage light in 15 minutes using a PH macro. So, if there is a lot of movement in the garage the macro executes repeatedly and I get "I've sensed movement in the garage" many times which is annoying. So I decided to set a flag. Now the macro is executed once, the flag is set and the next time there is movement the macro terminates without any announcement. I have a timed event set to reset the flag every hour. I would like to reset the flag every 15 minutes or so.
Any suggestions?

Numbers entered for Frequency are in minutes. Just put in 15.

Wow, I totally missed that. I just checked. It is in the manual on page 30.

Thanks!
