text alert help

[vbsafire1]

I have successfully set up so I can receive a text alert to my phone. Not sure how to actually get one sent. I would like to receive a text if the garage door is left open longer than 10 minutes.

 

Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks for any help in advance!

 

Here is mine:

 

If
       Status  'Garage / Garage Door IOLinks / GD- Dad Garage Door O-C' is On

Then
       Wait  10 minutes 
       Send Notification to 'Bill Cell' content 'Dad Garage Door Opened'

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I tried what you did but under content it would not let me type anything. It just stayed default?

Did you set up messages in config?

 

 

Thanks!

You will need to create a custom notification. In the admin console, go to: Configuration Tab, Email/Notifications sub tab, Customizations sub sub tab. Create a custom entry here - Save it - then go back and select it for use in your program.

And the body cannot be empty, if it is the message will NOT be sent..

 

 

Thanks!
