Run a routine only once and have it deactivate itself until I activate it again.

I have a routine that I want to only run once if the starter condition is met, and then I want it to deactivate itself. How can I achieve this?

I tried adding a custom command "Deactivate routine Test" to disable the Test routine but it did nothing.

Hey @rvilloch - We don't currently have functionality to deactivate a routine after it finishes running but you can try using starter suppression's suppressFor parameter to have your routine ignore a starter for a specified amount of time. Check out more details of this feature in our write scripted automations help article.
