Phone notifications when door sensors remain open?
contact-sensor
alarm
app-request
Is there a way to generate notifications when a door sensor:
- Remains open \> X minutes
- Is still open at a set time (e.g. 9pm).
- Is still open when I drive away.
In particular I have a detached and attached garage door that I've left open previously and would love to have an active notification system to remind me. And we have indoor cats so I'd use the same for all the other external house doors since they should never be left open more than briefly.

- UNo, tried it. We are hoping someone else (Amazon/ Alexa) to do what Ring needs to do? This should be a "must" feature and should not be hard to implement. I asked for this feature 4 years ago. All other security systems offer this "door remained open" feature, except Ring.•

- RYou can set up an Alexa routine to alert when the door opens or closes but there isn’t a way to get an alert if the door sensor remains open. This is a huge omission from Ring and it is really disappointing the lack of official response on this feature given the amount of requests it has had.•

- IHi You can setup 2 routines with Alexa. Routine (1) When the Door is opened: Name: Whatever you want When: Select the device and the trigger you are looking for. For me its the door and the trigger is open. Anytime: for me is Always. You can setup as you like, Add action: I did customized "Set a timer for 10 minutes" From: This device in my case, again you can setup as you need. Save Routine (2) When the Door is Closed: Name: Whatever you want When: Select the device and the trigger you are looking for. For me its the door and the trigger is closed. Anytime: for me is Always. You can setup as you like, Add action: I did customized "cancel timer for 10 minutes" From: This device in my case, again you can setup as you need. Save Only way I found it to work. A little tedious but hey I know. Under your routines menu you can tap the Blue play button to simulate the routine happening. Or physically do the deed.•

P@ivan327 Does yours set a timer even when the alexa app isn’t open? Mine doesn’t seem to send the routine unless the app is open when the door is opened. Heeeelllppp please :)•0

- SRI created this routine and it works. Alexa plays tones when my garage door has been left open too long. but…every time the garage door opens Alexa announces “5 minutes, starting now”. That’s annoying. I already tried enabling brief mode. Does anyone have a solution?•
