Monitor Door Status

Managed to spin up Webthings on a Raspberry Pi 4 box and had no problems adding my MyQ garage doors as devices. Standard notifications work fine (i.e. open/close).

Would like to create a notification for when the doors are open more than a certain amount of time. Am thinking this would require either an interval or timer, but not sure how to approach it. Any suggestions?

You would want to set up a series of rules:

  1. When door is open, start timer.
  2. When door closes, stop timer.
  3. When timer expires, send notification.

Cascading rules, of course! Thank you…
