I want a TTS voice announcement if my door is left ajar for over 3 minutes (kind of like how some of the refrigerators do). I see there’s an app called “Something Left Open” but it doesn’t have an option to notify via speaker.
Is there a way to use the “Something Left Open” app to trigger a simulated contact sensor so I can use the Speaker Notify app to announce if my door is left ajar?
Use can use CoRE for this. I have a ton of the actions using this smartapp.
Look no further than a custom instance of SHM. It has notify with sound.
Can’t believe I overlooked that!
Hi guys, the custom rule in SHM monitor is no longer available, as this feature was only in the old ST mobile app, which is now discontinued.
So I was wondering if there is another way to get a speaker notification when some contact sensor is open for a certain number of minutes.
The automations/ smartapps that I have looked at can either notify with sound when the contact sensor changes status - which is not what I want - or can notify via push notification when it was left open for X minutes, but not with speaker.
For me it is important to have speaker notification so that people in the house can take action and close that particular door which I want to monitor.
Thank you
Depending on the type of speakers, you could use webcore except with Sonos speakers. You can also checkout sharptools.
I use a google mini (cast-web api integration).
I am not using neither webcore not sharp tools, are these the only options?
I cannot understand how it is possible that such a simple feature, which already existed, is no longer available 
I added another thread above you can read through, more options in further details
It’s pretty straightforward on SharpTools.io Rule Engine if you decide to try that approach.
Oops… too early in the morning. I posted the wrong thread above…
