| | 79 | By default, a signal (transmission) received from a transmitter expires in 15 seconds. What this means is that when the transmitter is out of range, the plugin will "untrip" after 15 seconds. This is adjustable by editing the "Expire Time" variable in the RFID receiver device. |

| | 83 | Please note that the plugin will calculate the number of timers or "buffer" variables based on your Expire Time. What this means is at the default value of 15 seconds, there are a total of 7 timers created, that will represent the first transmission received, and the next six transmissions that will be received during the following 15 seconds. When a timer expires, it will start back up with the next transmission that is received. For this reason, the longer the time, the less likely you will experience false "trips". I'd recommend setting your Expire Time to no less than 10 seconds, but find the balance of reliability and response that works for you. |
