Hey there developer friends, trying to learn more in the world of smart home tech - and quickly realizing it is a mine field haha!

I am looking for a way to have my smartthings hub alert me if by a certain time each day a tilt sensor has not changed state. I use IFTT also - but cannot figure out a way to do this multiple if/and statement. Can anyone out there help?

Much appreciated in advance!  
Kind regards,  
Dan

Also, I can’t take any screenshots since I can’t use the app at this time due to its incompatibility with voiceover, so feel free to add screenshots where they would be helpful.) At one point, one of the biggest advantages of using the SmartThings platform was the wide variety of devices that it supported. However, by the end of 2017 several competing platforms had caught up in that regard. Where SmartThings still holds a significant advantage over some of the other low-cost home automation solutions is in the ability to really build really complex rules in a fairly simple manner. You won’t have to be a programmer, but you may need the help of other community members to get the logic constructed just right. Also, you …

You can do this with a custom smart home monitor rule

Sounds like a job for Webcore.

If tilt sensor changes, then set variable tilt=yes  
Every day at X, say “The tilt sensor did/did not change”  
Set variable Tilt=no (to reset for next day)
