After groovy: how to do loop automations?

[milandjurovic71 (Milan)]

You can do “loop” with @TAustin virtual momentarily button, and automation. There was thread couple days ago about door being left open.

Edge replacement for Ridiculously Automated Garage Door automation?…

Did it and set it up like you have shown and I get no notifications at all. [image] Ok, update… I went to the vEdge switch (you show it as a momentary) and I turned it “ON” (your screenshot shows it being “off” in your “IF” statement. Once I turned it ON, I started getting notifications every 2 min. But the weird thing is, I get 10 in a row, every 2 min. lol. Unsure why It’s definitely something that’ll get my attention that I left my garage door open, but I’d rather it be once, haha. Last update… I got it. Changed it to a switch and finally got it figured out. Thanks, this will help a lot to ensure I have same functionality I had with the current app I’ve been using

I have similar automations that are created for the same reason. When A/C is running and someone opens any window or door, I get notifications after 10 minutes. That give us plenty of time to get in and out on our deck or to vent kitchen. Also after 10 minutes it shuts a/c off. If all sensors are closed, A/c continues with previous program.
This automation is to shut down a/c after 10 minutes

This one is for cooling, and for heating is the same concept

You will notice I have one virtual switch only as contact sensor. I am updating this virtual switch from all other contact sensors. All my automations use this virtual switch as I don’t have to change anything to any other automations that use it. If i add another contact sensor, I add it to only one automation for this virtual switch.
