Jason Flippin Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I have the insteon garage door kit and I am trying to figure out how to create an alert if the garage door was left open for 30 minutes from 7pm to 7am. And for bonus points how I could silence the alert with another program for a few hours (say I had the garage open for some reason that night intentionally after 7). I know I could disable the alert but then there would be a good chance I would forget to re-enable it. All ideas appreciated! Thanks!
stusviews Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 If time is between A & B and garage door is open Then wait 30 minutes send alert Else nothing -------------------------------------------------------------------- If a device (e.g., KPL button) is on Then disable program wait x hours enable program Else nothing
Jason Flippin Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 I've been trying to get this set up and I have the program set up as you have outlined above but I seem to get alerts right away. It doesn't seem to be waiting the 30 minutes. Any ideas?

It doesn't seem to be waiting the 30 minutes. Any ideas? Right click on your notification program, select Copy to Clipboard, and paste here for us to review. -Xathros
Jason Flippin Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 NestHomeAway is a variable that tracks our phones and it is working good with another program but I can take that out if needed. But, I am getting the alert it just doesn't seem to be waiting 30 minutes If ( $NestHomeAway > 0 ) And Status 'Garage-Sensor' is On Then Wait 30 minutes Send Notification to 'Jason' content 'Garage.Alarm' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
oberkc Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Everything I understand about the ISY tells me that this program should include a thirty minute delay before sending out a notification. Is it possible you have other programs in play here?
Xathros Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I have to agree with oberkc on this. Is it possible that the Wait is the last thing you added to the program and it needs to be saved for it to take effect? If not, Right click the program tree and select Find/Replace, Set the Find drop down to "Raw Text" and search for Garage.Alarm and see if there are any other references to this notification. -Xathros
Jason Flippin Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 I will look into other programs. I do have variations of the same thing for troubleshooting but had been somewhat diligent on disabling them. I'll double check and retry. Thanks for the input
