Hourly Automation Timer? (2022)

You can make a routine with the door sensor and a virtual device, for example called a reminder:

IF:

  • open sensor open during x minutes
    and
  • virtual switch reminder = Off

THEN

  • virual switch reminder = On and turn Off after “y” minutes
  • Send notification

This will send you a notification when it is open for x minutes
It will send you a notification every y minutes while the door is still open.

In example first notification at 1 minute and every 2 minutes

You can also made the routine with the garage light itself.

  • If when the garage door is opened the light comes on and you put it to turn off after x minutes.
  • If the light goes out and the door is still open, turn the light on and turn it off after y minutes and send a notification.

It’s the same, but without virtual switch
