Automatically close garage after 10 mins #33

Open alanfromtoronto opened 6 years ago

I would like to be able to automatically trigger a close after 10 mins, assuming it is open. any idea how to do this?

benlamonica commented 6 years ago

I have people who have requested that. It’s a bit dangerous though. When the door is opened, we can just start a timer that is configured in the config value.

That works for me. I am fine assuming that the automatic door sensor works and won't hurt anyone.

alanfromtoronto commented 6 years ago

Thoughts on where we could include the timer? I wouldn't mind being a beta tester :)

I'm sorry I've been so unresponsive. Super busy. I hope to do some work soon, so I'll add this feature and update this ticket.

Excellent.

Have you managed to test having two sensors? I have one when the door is fully open and fully closed. I can only use one or the other. If both are enabled it crashes.

Many thanks.

Ben - you may want to hold off on the timer as that should be covered off by the timers automation feature within iOS11 assuming you have an AppleTV.

Iupgraded to IOS 11 but still can't find timers automation, Ben, can you please add a timer?

benlamonica commented 6 years ago

Yes, will get to it soon.

used a dummy switch and leveraged timers. not totally smooth but all works.
