HELP! How do I get ISY to email if a senser is open for >15 min.

I'm fairly new to the ISY994i and am using an insteon IOLinc Module sensing if a door is open or closed .  How can I get ISY994i PRO to email me only if the door is left open for over 15 minutes.

try something like:

 

if

status sensor is open

then

wait 15 mintes

send email

else

nothing

This.

 

It works because if the sensor closes the 'wait' is aborted, and you won't get an email.

Thank you, I will give it a try. 

 

I didn't know that the wait is aborted if the door is closed.

more generically, the wait is aborted any time that a program triggers during a wait period and evaluates false (when wait is in THEN path).  If a program is triggered and evaluates true, the wait is halted and the entire THEN statement starts anew.
