I've created an automation that will send a notification if my room is above or below a set limit. While it works great it also spams me with notifications if the temp bounces around. I want to have it where it only sends a single notification and doesn't send any more until the temperature "resets" and goes back to say 75°F. After it resets it will send a new notification.

the reason it keeps notifying you is probably because you have multiple of each trigger. it will only notify you once for each entity when it goes above or below a threshold, but because you have 2 entities for the triggers, it will notify you up to 2 time per trigger, when either entity goes below 77 and then back above, it will trigger again
if you want to stop that from happening, you can set a condition so that if sensor.by_bed_1_temperature activates the automation, it will only send you the automation if sensor.by_door_2_temperature isnt also above/below your thresholds

Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.
Both of those temperature sensors are in the same room and the one by the door usually reads a few degrees higher because my computer is close to it. So it's not like anything was broken it's just because if the temp bounces to say 76.8 up to 77.2 and repeating it will send a notification every time for both sensors if they both trip.
Is there a way to change the reset threshold? I don't want it to trip for that one entity until it goes down or up to 75. It can still trigger for that other entity then wait until it resets.
For example, I at max want 2 notifications when the temperature is out of range for both entities until either one resets. When an entity resets it can trigger another notification and repeat.
