Timed and Repeating Notification for any Ewelink door/window/garage contact sensor.

[MoTechnicalities]

• Please explain your feature request in a one or two sentences.

HomeKit has no direct feature to offer repetitive notifications for contact sensors that have been left open. (i.e. door left open for 15 minutes then send a notification, then again if still open 15 minutes after that.)

I would like to see if it is possible to create this optional functionality within the plugin for eWeLink doors/sensors with these optons: Notify after (X minutes) if the door/sensor state remains OPEN (optionally if the sensor state remains CLOSED). And optionally Repeat this notification (Y times/optionally infinitely) as long as the sensor remains in that state.

My thought was that the plugin could monitor the true state of the sensor and simply re-transmit the sensor's state change command to HomeKit if the state is the same as that requiring the notification, and repeat at the desired interval and number of times, so that if the user has notifications activated for that particular door/sensor then it should prompt HomeKit to send the desired state messages.

This is a desired feature that people are looking for.

• Any particular eWeLink devices that this relates to? Doors Garage Doors Windows Any contact sensor

• Anything else? I do not know if HomeKit will accept repeated open sensor statements and still send the push notification without receiving a closed sensor statement. (i.e. OPEN, OPEN, OPEN vs. OPEN, CLOSED, OPEN)
