TEXTAPALOOZA!! 

OK, this is an odd one... of course it seems that's what I specialize in!
I had an Insteon door/window sensor rigged onto my garage door and set to send me a text when it was opened. All good, except the rigged instal was kludgy-looking and at times would get knocked by the sectional door if the wind was shifting it while opening...

Enter rig #2, quite a bit more elegant and functional, this version uses the Insteon hidden door sensor (in a creative way) to sense the last 4" of travel closed. I renamed and repurposed the old sensor and set the new one to send the text. now when the door is opened I get 10-20 repeat texts within seconds! Same when closed (a second event). The old sensor, still only sends one text (to be later installed on the mailbox).

The logs show no repeat activity, and the installation is not registering any bouncing of the switch contacts so what is up?
