Leak Watch Device - Heartbeat triggering Leak Detected event

First, I would like to thank Perry for his generosity in sharing the Cynical Behaviors Plugin. The Leak Watch Device has greatly simplified the management of my Insteon Leak Sensors.

I created a trigger to email me every time Leak Watch detects a leak. Unfortunately, upon inspecting the logs, I realized that emails were sent after (leak detected), and (heartbeat) events. The latter is not supposed to happen. It does not happen every time, but it does happen often enough to be a nuisance.

There seems to be a possible connection with the firmware version. The issue happens on sensors with firmware 2516REV2.5, 3516REV2.5, but I have not seen it happen on 0114REV2.1, 3514REV2.2. It is possible that it happens on all firmwares - I just did not watch the logs long enough.

Below is an extract from the log showing a couple of the false triggers. I also included screenshots with the Leak Watch Device configuration.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Thank you.
