Can I Use Wireless Sensor Tags to Get an Alert if a Door is Left Open Beyond a Time Threshhold

[Jeff Lowder]

I'm interesting in the ability to get an alarm if a particular door is opened and is not shut within a certain amount of time, say 30 or 60 seconds. Is this use case scenario supported by wireless sensor tags?

u can definetly do it... i did it with google script...just it was easier for me.

i create a file in google drive when the door is open and when the door is closed. and i check every 5 mins if both files are there.

If close file is not there..notification.

Jeff,

You can do it with a simple Kumo App script like the one I've attached.  I use it daily and have it set to 5  minutes.

var timer={};
var target = <#door or window_[12|53]_N#>;
target.forEach(function(t){
    t.opened=function(){
        timer[t.uuid]=KumoApp.setInterval(function(){
            <~devices to send notification~>.push(t.name + " remains open");
        },<%interval in minute_N%>*1000*60);
    };
    t.closed=function(){
        KumoApp.stopTimer(timer[t.uuid]);
    };
});

There is an easy setting for this in the motion options for the sensor. It is limited to one alert though and a few other settings. The suggestions made here allow for more options.

see screen shot, i use it on my garage door.
