Notification after 1 hour IF garage door left open.

w1se · January 18, 2018, 6:17am

Hi All,

Have had vera for a while, but never used notifications before. I just got a GD00z-4 and would like to setup a notification if I’ve left my garage door open for 1 hour. Can someone point me in the right direction? I wasn’t able to see anything in the scene setup which followed this logic:

IF garage door open, begin 1 hour timer, restart timer every time door opened, end timer if door closed.
If not closed within 1 hour, send notification.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

Ok dumb question. I’ve installed Pleg and the PLC, but can’t find anywhere on the vera dashboard or any other tabs on how to access Pleg to create a scene…what am I missing?

The only thing I’ve managed to do, is from the apps tab, click on Pleg, then add device, and it adds a pleg virtual device to my device list.

Also tried to search for this online…no luck.

After installing the plugins you need to do a POWER OFF reset of your Vera before you start.

As an example, attached is my PLEG for a 10 minute garage and 1 minute front door notification.

That reminds me - I think to set my 1 hour alert to repeat… I think I can just restart the timer when I send the alert. And there is the example: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,13874.msg104598.html#msg104598 (Richard you might want to move the linked post under the Examples sub-forum)
