Door Left Open Configuration?

[jgruberman (Josh Gruberman)]

I am looking to create some sort of Automation to where if X Door Sensor is left open for so many minutes I get notified. I searched the forums but most of the results were older and I wasn’t sure what information was current. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

For myself, I use an Automation…

If
Door sensor open
For X minutes

Then
Send notification

FAQ: Get a Notification if Something is Left On, Open, or Unlocked for X Minutes (2021)

People frequently ask “how can I get a notification if a contact sensor is open for 10 minutes?“ Or “how can I get a notification if my door is unlocked for more than five minutes?“ Etc. April 2021 Update This has now been added to the official features when you create an automation using the + in the upper right of the main screen, at least for some devices. You will be able to send either a push notification or a text message.

Some require paying a license fee for third-party app, but then are very easy to use. Others are free but have a more complicated set up. Because this is 2021, please lim…

Yes this is what I was looking for. I was unable to find this setup at first because I didn’t have a multipurpose sensor connected to the system. Once I got one added, it all fell into place - thank you!
