Notification of a sensor state

Other Devices & Integrations Door Locks & Sensors

Hi, kind of new to Vera and appreciate the help.

I have a MimoLite connected to my garage door and a magnetic sensor that trips when the door is open. I’m trying to figure out how to have the system send me an alert at a certain time IF the sensor is tripped state, not WHEN it’s tripped.

I basically want to know every day a t midnight if my garage door is open.

Thanks for any help.

You would have to check at midnight using a scene scheduled for that time. It’s only a couple of lines of code, or you could use the PLEG app. What plugin do you use to send notifications?

I do exactly this with an external door. Works well.

Thanks, I kind of thought there would be a little code needed for the logic. I’ve got the scene scheduled. I’ll just have to find an example.

I don’t currently have a plugin for notifications, I thought that the Vera had a way to notify you and that was probably going to be my next question. I’ll check out the PLEG app.

For notifications, it rather depends how you want to receive them… smart phone alers, email, …

Thanks akbooer. I loaded up the PLEG plugin and have it doing what I need to.
