Afaik, this has not been implemented so far. This could be done in a
very flexible way by introducing some kind of consolidation function
which would be applied to the values before deciding whether to send a
notification. I have some very vague ideas about that but nothing yet
which would be worth mentioning - so any further ideas would be very
welcome :-)

Cheers,
Sebastian
