Help with garage door notification

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)
1

Hey, I have just set up a pleg script. I want it to send an alert after the garage door has been open for x minutes. Here is what it looks like:

[code]Scenes

Left Garage Door Open manual scene sends alert

Right Garage Door Open manual scene sends alert

Triggers

tGarageOpenLeft Device Is Opened

tGarageOpenRight Device Is Opened

Schedule

sGarageTimer On = self re-trigger, off = interval at 30 min.

Conditions

cGarageOpenLeft tGarageOpenLeft

(Action using advanced Tab, Select PLEG Device, Action is StartTimer, Timer is GarageTimer)

cGarageOpenRight

(Action using advanced Tab, Select PLEG Device, Action is StartTimer, Timer is GarageTimer)

cGarageWarningLeft tGarageOpenLeft and (tGarageOpenLeft; !sGarageTimer)

Actions

cGarageOpenLeft Start timer

cGarageOpenRight Start timer

(Actions using Advanced tab, Select PLEG Device, Action is StartTimer, Timer is GarageTimer)

cGarageWarningLeft Send alert

(Action using Advanced tab, Select PLEG Device, Action is RunScene, scene is Left Garage Door Open)

cGarageWarningRight Send alert

(Action using Advanced tab, Select PLEG Device, Action is RunScene, scene is Right Garage Door Open)[/code]

Can anyone tell me why this isn’t working? All I can add is that the sensors are sending notifications to the log file that the doors are opened or closed.

Please post a PDF output of the “STATUS” report … then we can see the state of the inputs, conditions, and actions.

Ah, forgot about the status report. Can’t tell what’s wrong by looking at it though, unless it’s the action argument which doesn’t have a number after the = sign.

Why are you calling an external scene and not triggering a notification (or other actions) from within PLEG?

I’m not aware of a way to trigger notifications in PLEG. All I saw was a reference to using a 3rd party sms tool but I don’t know why I would do that rater than just running a scene with a notification in it (or from within PLEG even better).

There is a notifications tab in PLEG. You specify which condition you want to be notified about, and then give it a name.
Notifications in PLEG work like any other device. I use VeraAlerts, but you can use the built-in notification system…

Ahhh I didn’t even see that! Thanks I’ll give that a shot.

Thanks Wilme2, that worked!
