Llama and delayed events

[thebooge]

Hi folks

Need some help creating an event that only fires once a day.

I am using Auto SMS to send a text when I enter an area to let my family know I am on my way home. However, as it connects and reconnects to the tower(s) in that area, it keeps firing SMS messages.

I received this advice when I asked Steve at KebabApps:

Enter area, set Llama variable 'sent sms'=<blank>
Send SMS, set Llama variable 'sent sms='yes', queue a delayed event (delay for 16 hours)
Llama variable 'sent sms'=<blank>

That will make Llama remember that it sent an sms, and 16 hours after sending it, it will reset Llama so that it can send it next time.

but I am having trouble understanding what is an action, what is an event, and how to string them together. I don't understand why setting a variable makes the event fire only once. I must be missing something.
