Wolfaslov Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a semi advanced command that I'd like to set up. Often my garage door is left open by kids or whatever reason..... I'd like to get a push notification if it's open for more than 10 minutes. I created the push notification in "agents". I created a timer for 10 minutes in "agents". I am having a hard time figuring out how to set that up in "programming". Was thinking about... "start timer" ---then "if" garage overhead door state is "false" ---then send the "push notification" any help on this would be appreciated as I am not sure I am seating them properly under each command ----noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Tyler Buell Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 When garage door opens... -Start Timer When garage door closes... -Stop Timer When timer expires... -Send push notification You could also make it a repeating timer and get a push notification every 10 minutes the garage door is open.

Close, but use reset timer as the open action. That way it resets to 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought, but I just found out that that is not/no longer accurate - start will also start the timer from scratch..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Tyler Buell Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The difference between Start and Restart, is that Restart sends both a "Stop" command and a "Start" Command. While Start only resets the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
