Here are some options:
You may want to look into Webcore. This is a very powerful custom application for Smartthings. It can do way more then just address your problem and it takes some initial learning but it is well worth it.
CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.”
Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you.
For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog.
If you have an iOS device you may also want to look at Smartrules. This is a paid iOS app that connects to Smartthings with a very simple user interface to create rules.
SmartRules v2.0 is finally here!! Thanks to all of the beta testers to help stomp out those last minute bugs! Check out the details here:

Release notes:
We’ve switched to freemium! Now you can try out one rule for free, then unlock unlimited rules with an in-app purchase*. We’ve also added a bunch of new features, cleaned up the look and feel, and squashed some bugs.
Added “and stays that way”! This lets you trigger a rule after something has changed and stayed that way for some time. For example, “Front door opens and stays that way for 5 minutes” or “Motion ends and stays that way for 10 minutes”. We’re excited about this one!! It’s really handy.
All fields from your rules now show up in the rule screen, and no ugly shru…
