Aqara Water Sensor w/c8. How do I sound off an alarm

[user6704]

I have 3 aquaria water sensors connected to c8 hub. Looks like they work when I activate the dry/wet contacts.

How do I send any type of warnings to the Android habitat app, SMS, and/or Google Homes?

I made some custom code to sound off threw my google homes. But was wondering if there is a simpler and more robust way of telling me the water alarms were set off?

Have you thought of creating a Rule Machine rule that would send the notifications to your devices?

So I have a RM working. I can not figure out 1 thing. How can I repeat the check ever minute until the devices is dry. Not turned off in Habitat. If I dry the sensor on my shirt, I want it off, if it stay wet, repeat msg ever minute.

thanks

This is my rule

You’re almost there!

Just switch the commands so that the “While” appears first, then the “Notify”. And you’ll want to add an “END-REP” command at the bottom.

To help understand how Hubitat works. Everything in the Hubitat world is triggered by a "change". So a rule that is triggered by one of your three sensors going to dry, will result in that rule running.

So a sensor state changing, time becoming equal to a time you specify, a switch or button changing state etc.
So there is no need nor method to "check" the state of a device.

I am a little confused.

The trigger is "any wet"

Are you saying, just keep repeating msg but how will "dry" stop the msg?
