You can set the automation to fire after a reasonable delay, so that if something is firing continuously you aren't getting constant/overlapping messages.
Yeah I've edited it to activate after 20 seconds now and added a Boolean that also activates with a delay of 2 hours before the Boolean turns off. I've also added a node to check if the Boolean is off before the notification.
So now it activates if the sensor has been submerged for 20 seconds and the notification hasn't fired for 2 hours.
I may have another edit and have the Boolean turn off if the sensor hasn't activated for a while instead.
I'm also considering adding the sensor to the light automation in my kids bathroom to stop the lights going out. I already have a motion and door sensor doing this, but the kids keep managing to knock the door sensor off with their heavy handed door use.
I believe there's a throttle node in node-red to only let the flow continue once in a settable amount of time. I use it to keep security camera motion notifications at bay.
I've just set it to trigger after a delay, seems to have done the trick
