Has anyone had success using Smart Home Monitor to issue a repeating alert for an open door? I tried using SMH to warn me about leaving my garage door open every 30 minutes based on another post but from what I can tell SMH won’t send additional messages after the first one. I had success using Rule Machine for this but I had to create two rules to get it to work. One rule is triggered by the open event and activates another rule that has a cancelable, delayed message push that also re-runs the action from the trigger rule. It seems to work but I’m surprised that this isn’t easier to do or just supported by SMH. I also found this github script which seems to do the trick though it’s limited to 10 pushes: [https://github.com/rayzurbock/SmartThings-DoorLeftOpen](https://github.com/rayzurbock/SmartThings-DoorLeftOpen) ---

I highly recommend you join over at WebCoRE…The folks there are super helpful and if you haven’t used WebCoRE, you will be simply amazed… Here’s an example, there are more: > **[Door Left Open Reminder - Configurable by Individual Contact](https://community.webcore.co/t/door-left-open-reminder-configurable-by-individual-contact/1179)** > > This piston, which is in two parts, provides an alert (and subsequent reminders) if doors, gates, or even windows have been left open beyond a defined amount of time. It is configurable by individual contact, meaning that both the amount of time each... ---

Finally got around to trying this…so far I really like the experience over Rules Machine. I created a different piston for another rule I was having trouble with so we’ll see how that goes. Thanks! ---

Sure thing…I think there’s a learning curve, but the nice thing is if you post over at their forum, you can usually get a fast response…and WebCoRE is evolving…I think this is just the tip of the iceberg…
