Repeat notifications for "Stays this status for how long?"?

[tblack2200 (Tim)]

I wanted a device to help me monitor the door closure state of my freezer in the garage. I found a temp\humidity sensor that worked great, except it goes through a new battery about every week. What I thought I’d try as an alternate approach was to use a door contact sensor to send an alert if the door was open for for than 2 minutes. The “Stays this status for how long?” feature helps me do that. However, it would be really helpful if this feature could be extended to repeat the alert\text every few minutes until the contact is closed.

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

@DaWeav, I am using this smartapp, which I modified from the original “left it open”, which allows selecting several sensors in the same application and it works well for me. You can also use automations now: Create a virtual or simulated switch or choose a light in your house for this purpose. You can name it “Reminder” for example. Automation: IF door X is open for “y” minutes AND switch “Reminder” is “off” THEN switch “Reminder” turn “on” + turn it off after “z” minutes + Send Notification “…” You can also add the AND condition “location mode” = x In this way, it sends you the first notification after “y” minutes of being door open and the following every “z” minutes, if the door is still open [Screenshot_20210612-113252]
