Okay, I thought my logic was broken there.

Thanks for the reply.

Ideally the behavior I'm looking for is....

Time Status 0 Green 15 Red 30 Green (Hobbit ignores this because it was red for only 15 minutes, not 30 minutes) 45 Green (Hobbit changes the test status to Green now, because it's been 30 minutes).

If it doesn't make sense, please send follow up questions so I can flesh it out some more.

It's just not the way Hobbit (or BB, for that matter) works. The latest status received is always the current one - sending a status with "+30" only indicates that an update must be received within 30 minutes. It doesn't mean that this status is valid for 30 minutes no matter what else is received.

From my point of view, sending a "green" for a status that is down is broken. Either send another "red", or don't send anything at all.
