How do I trigger Programming based on the state of multiple devices, vs a specific device triggering it?

[416to305]

I want to do the following but am confused how I'd do this in Composer.  Here's a made up example to illustrate:

IF Garage Door 1 is CLOSED and Garage Door 2 is CLOSED and Garage Door 3 is CLOSED and Garage Door 4 is CLOSED and Garage Door 5 is CLOSED
THEN Send an Alert

I get confused as Composer wants everything to trigger off a device but there's none in this case.  Like if I wanted the above to run when I press a keypad button then that's easy, but I want it to trigger based on the state of multiple devices.  In this example, send an alert when ALL garage doors are closed, and only when all are closed. 

If I was doing this in Home Assistant the trigger would literally be:

"If the state of Garage Door 1 equals CLOSED and the state of Garage Door 2 equals CLOSED and the state of Garage Door 3 equals CLOSED and the state of Garage Door 4 equals CLOSED and the state of Garage Door 5 equals CLOSED"

The only other thought I had was doing a timer and having the timer expiry have the conditions above, but that's clunky and not instant.

Simply create a macro with that set of conditionals, and trigger that macro on each door state changing

ie WHEN garage door 1 closes - execute macro

WHEN garage 2 closes - execute macro

etc.

 

One macro will do - no need to recreate per door (if garage door 1 closes, the IF statement for that door can just stay - it won't interfere)

IF garage 1 is closed
--IF garage 2 is closed
----IF garage 3 is closed
-----Send Alert All Closed
-----Stop

edit (missed you wanted when all closed)

Thank you!  This makes sense I'll give this a try.

Another way of doing this is to use the Domosapiens Security Enhancements driver.  This allows you to combine doors (or windows or PIR sensors etc.) into groups and show the group in navigators (as open or closed) and, of course, you can trigger code of this group driver being open or closed.

Oh amazing even better!  That's basically what I'm trying to do with the garage doors so I'll check into that as might be easier.  Thanks!
