I have a wall mounted tablet with a virtual switch that initiates a bedtime routine such as turning off lights, locking doors, arming HSM, etc. We have a couple of doors in our house that don't have smart locks on them as they don't get used too often. However we do have contact sensors on those doors. I'm trying to come up with a way for the following to happen:
If the bedtime routine virtual button is hit, and the basement door was open during the day, show an alert or a prompt on Fully Kiosk Browser on the wall mounted tablet that we may want to check if those doors are locked as they were opened earlier in the day.
I'm thinking this could be done with a variable but I'm not sure of any way to show an alert on the Fully Kiosk Browser. Has anyone done anything similar to this?
You could create a virtual door to represent the actual door that opens when contact sensor opens but stays open when contact sensor closes. Then every night at midnight (or some other appropriate time) close the virtual door. Then your bedtime routine can check if virtual door is open it closed and acct accordingly.
That's a good idea for how to track if the door has been opened or not. Thank you. Any experience with Fully Kiosk and if there is a way to show a prompt or alert based on that virtual door being open and initiating the bedtime routine?
My 2 tablets are too old to run Fully Kiosk but you could trigger lights flashing or TTS message to a speaker within your rule
Fully has a built in api call to display a text overlay message. It may or may not be what you are looking for though. Not as obvious as dialog box.
To get an idea put this in your browser. You can then trigger it using a httpGet command in RM. To clear the message set text to blank.

Another option you can have it speak a tts message if a door is open when arming.
Interesting! I will take a look at this! Thanks!
