Repeatedly nag my family when a door is left open?

I can create an automation that announces ‘door is open’ one time, but I would like to have the routine announce the same message every X minutes until the door (sensor) closes. Is it possible to do this with a S.T. automation?

You can try this automation

@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]
