reed and updates on no change - managementboy - 15.06.2016

Hi, I am having the issue with a reed connected to the re:actor. It continually sends an update even if nothing has changed. Did I configure something wrong? I only want an action when the value changes.

Since I did not get any reply I asume I was not concrete enough. Here a screenshot of the object:

And this is the script attached to the object.
Code:
if (event.getvalue() > 1) then
 -- Door closed
 --set status object for door closed
 grp.update('4/4/6', true)
else
 -- Door open
 -- set status object for door open
 grp.update('4/4/6', false)
end

normal is about 1.1V... door open is about 0.6V

What am I doing wrong?

I think you should only send update if previous value was different, like this:
Code:
addr = '4/4/6'
value = event.getvalue() > 1

if grp.getvalue(addr) ~= value then
  grp.update(addr, value)
end
