Message Every 30 Minutes Until Door Opened?

[mfranzel]

Hi all,

I have a program that senses if my washing machine is running or not and when done, sends me a message. It is as follows:

 

If

        Control  'Laundry Room / Washing Machine' is Switched Off

 Or   Status    'Laundry Room / Washing Machine' is Off
 
Then
        Wait  10 minutes
        Send Notification to 'Cell Phone'
 
Else
        None

 

My problem is that when this happens, I forget about it and it sits there. I also have the door to the laundry room set up so when the door opens, the light turns on. So, what I want to do is have this message sent to me every 30 minutes UNTIL the door is opened i.e. I open the door and walk in the room and take out the laundry.

 

Does anyone know how I would go about programming this?

Hi

 

You can try the updates below.

 

FYI, If you start laundry before you leave the house, its going to bug you until that door is opened (unless you leave it opened).  If you have an ISY compatible mobile app that can stop programs remotely, that's a way to stop it from bugging you in that situation.

If

          Control  'Laundry Room / Washing Machine' is Switched Off
 or  Status    'Laundry Room / Washing Machine' is Off  (remove this line)

and   Status 'Laundry Room/Door' is Off

Then
        Wait  10 minutes
        Send Notification to 'Cell Phone' (remove this line)
        Repeat every 10 minutes

                Send Notification to 'Cell Phone'
Else
        None

Are you certain that the door will always be closed when the machine is running?

Thats the one problem I suppose... I could go back in while the wash is running to throw something in maybe? So programming would have to say ONLY when the wash has been off for 10 minutes THEN...

Here is a set of programs that I use to alert me of my dryer items.

 

The first program gets alerted by the dryer running after 10 minutes to avoid somebody just looking in the dryer door or tossing in another piece of clothing while running.

 

Included is a notification that the dryer is running too long. This can be caused by the dryer door being open and detecting the light in the drum being on. Cold air is leaked into the house while the door remains open or the timer could be stuck on the dryer. That part would probably not apply to your washing machine and those lines can be removed.

Dryer Running - [ID 009C][Parent 0066]

If
        'Mudroom / Dryer' is switched On
    And 'Mudroom / Dryer' is not switched Off
 
Then
        Wait  10 minutes 
        Enable Program 'Dryer Finished.Alert'
        Wait  1 hour and 20 minutes 
        Send Notification to 'Text Jackie' content 'Dryer Still Running'
        Wait  3 seconds
        Send Notification to 'Text  Larry' content 'Dryer Still Running'
        Wait  3 seconds
        Send Notification to 'eMail Jackie' content 'Dryer Still Running'
        Wait  3 seconds
        Send Notification to 'eMail Larry' content 'Dryer Still Running'
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
 
Negative condition in "If" aborts "Dryer Didn't Stop" notifications.

The second program gets enabled by the first program, and goes through a sequence.

It rings my back doorbell

8 minutes later, it rings my doorbell and a chime in the basement.

10 minutes later, it sends notifications out to cell phones. 

This sequence is cancelled, at any stage, by opening the dryer door or entering the laundry room to witness the dryer stopped.
