Name of Rule: Welcome home

Comments: While I'm sharing... I made this rule that greets people by name as they walk through the door. Really just for fun. I had create greetingName since "Wait for condition" changes the event variable. We don't to be welcoming the kitchen door home :slight_smile:

Name of Rule: Garage Door - Left Open

Comments: Sends Pushover Notification if Garage Door has been left open for more than 5 minutes (time can be changed by setting cancelable delay), then every 3 minutes thereafter until closed. Virtual Contact Sensor (w/auto off) “Garage Door Announcer - Left Open-VCS” also triggers Alexa Routine so that Alexa makes announcement on designated Echo devices mirroring Pushover Notifications. “Garage Door Announcer - ON/OFF Switch” is virtual contact switch which can be switched ON/OFF with Alexa Voice Command to enable/disable Garage Door notifications/announcements if the Garage Door is to be left open for more than 5 minutes and notifications/announcements are not desired.

Name of Rule: Laundry - Washer is Done

Comments: Uses Power Monitoring (Tasmota modded Sonoff S31 Outlets) on Washer and Dryer to notify when Wash Cycle is done. Announcements are made by 2 different Alexa Routines triggered by virtual contact switches (w/auto off) on designated Echo devices. If Washer load is done but Dryer is still in use, then Alexa announces “Wash is done but dryer is in use. I will let you know when the dryer is available”. If Washer is done and Dryer is not in use, then Alexa simply announces “Wash load is done. Please transfer laundry to Dryer”. Private Boolean prevents repeated announcements per washer cycle. Delay assures false notifications are prevented during lulls in washer cycle (between various wash or spin cycles). Similar Rule for Dryer announces when Dryer is done. Can be easily modded to also include Pushover notifications if desired (WAF dictated that only Alexa Announcements were desired in my use case).
