The kids have a little electric ride on car and park it in the garage when done, they leave the doors slightly ajar and its always once i\'m ready for bed and try to set night mode that i then deduce the garage door isn\'t bolted... the solution i\'m after is a simple text at, say 20:00 every day IF a certain zone is open (the garage doors).
Is this possible with comfort? it seems oh so simple but i can\'t seem to manage it.
You can use the Time Program feature; set it to be triggered everyday at 20:00 and put a time program response to check the garage door and trigger an alarm if the garage door is currently open.
That alarm in turns shall be programmed to send a text to you.
See the attached configuration file.
I use Time Program number 5.
And I\'ve modified the alarm number 14 to become \'GarageDoorOpen\' alarm; you can see this under Security Type Settings >> Alarm Types.
This alarm is programmed to text to phone number 3 (assuming the phone no. 3 is the SMS number).
So if the garage door is still open at 20:00 it will send a text like this:
I\'ve done something slightly different. I have a CBus installation and I have a spare switch on my Neo keypad in my kitchen.
What I\'ve done is in Cbus created a 1 second On|Off pulse and assigned it to the switch\'s LED. Whenever the garage door/zone is open then this LED flashes so it immediately attracts my attention. This way if the garage door is open I will see a flashing LED on my CBus Neo keypad.
Hi, did this, it worked and is great, the downside is for each \"check\" i want to make i have to define an alarm type to get the zonename in the text.
Is there any \"variable\" that cen be used so the zonename is pushed through from the response?
hmm, not so for me so i must be doing something wrong, instead, if i renamed the alarm zone to \"SMSCheck\" i then got a text saying My house - SMSCHeck Notify - 00
