I have my garage open auto open when I get close to the home using a proximity sensor on my phone. But some times I must open it using the app due to whatever. then I close it and get in the home. Then the garage reopens on its own thinking that I am now home. How do I set it up to only open once within a 10 min period so it does not reopen? if I do it manually thru the app or auto.
Thank you
Best bet would be webCoRE.
Yep. Predicate the garage door opening based upon the condition of a variable. When the door opens the first time, set the variable to something and a timer to reset it after 10 minutes.
You might need to use a virtual device that includes the restriction instead of the actual garage door…
Create Virtual Garage Door in IDE
In webCoRE
Define Dynamic Variable “allow”
If actual garage door changes to open
Then with Virtual garage door
Open
With location
Set Variable “allow” = false
If actual garage door changes to close
Then with Virtual garage door
Close
If Actual garage door stays closed for 10 minutes
Then with location
Set Variable “allow” to true
If Virtual garage door changes to open
And
Variable “allow” is true
Then with actual garage door
Open
If Virtual garage door changes to open
And
Variable “allow” is false
Then with Location
Send notification “You have to wait” (you can get fancy here with an equation to say how long the wait will be)
If Variable “allow” changes to false
Then with location
Wait 10 minutes
Set Variable “allow” to true
The above should cover you if you are using the Virtual garage door to operate the actual garage door. You will still have the ability to use the actual garage door as normal without any time limits.
Nice @rontalley, I had the short version… LOL.
You get the addaboy for the webCoRE piston overview.
