RM - Announce device open when Heat turns On?

[bptworld]

@Cobra @Royski

Kept working on this since I like to tinker...Found a way to do this with 1 RM rule, 1 virtual device and 1 Check Open Contacts rule.

• Created Virtual Switch with Enable Auto Off set to 1 second.
• RM rule simply turns on the Virtual Switch when the heat kicks on (not just set to heat but actual furnace running, using Nest thermostat status).
• Check Open Contacts rule triggers on the Virtual Device and checks all my windows and doors. Announces though the whole house which contacts are open (via google home assistants) and also sends me a push.

Best part is that, if anybody opens a window or door at anytime... this will catch it and notify us each time the heat kicks on.

Could not be happier! Thanks again.

(The speech synth can be the Pushover device) If there are none then it will tell you with a (configurable) message (If there is no 'all closed' message then…
