I seek to notify if garage door is left open more than 15 minutes. I set up a rule this way and it notifies regardless of whether the door was left open. Not sure how to do this, hoping maybe you experts know a way. I just made the great migration from Wink yesterday, and it's a huge learning curve, but I am hopeful and Hubitat seems to be way more capable, just not as idiot-proof.
I tried to put a picture but it told me I'm not allowed.
Select trigger events:
Garage Door open
Select Actions to Run
Notify iPhone: 'Garage door was left open for 15 minutes' --> delayed: 0:15:00
I agree that the notifier is the way to go for this example. I was just trying to give him feedback on his rule so he can apply it to bigger and badder rules
Yes, but if you just want to be notified if "door left open for X minutes" but only between certain times (e.g, sunset and sunrise), the Notifications app mentioned above can do that, too. Just add add a time under "Restrictions."
I would like to be notified if any of my garage doors are open at a certain time in the evening. I don't care if they have been open for longer than X minutes. They can be open all day, I just don't want to go to bed and leave one open. What's the best way to do that?
You could simply use Rule Machine rule, with a Specific Time of Day trigger, like the one I use to notify us if any doors are unlocked at 11pm every night. Just change the logic to notify if a garage door is open instead.
Can you still do it with the Notification app with a restriction on the time when to give the notification? (I found a small display bug when doing that using 24 hour time format, but that probably doesn't affect this working).
I have a mode called Bedtime that starts at 11PM, and I use that mode as the restriction in my Notification. This lets me include the Away mode, which means the notification is instantaneous if the either garage door is open (for 5 minutes) while we are away.
also the go control is not a contact device. or you dont have the correct driver. i have them and they show up othewerise as a garage door. it should be generic zwave garage door opener
