Alarm for open Doors

[lumjajo]

Hello, all.
I am not so sure about the way how to handle the following event. I have a Garagedoor (side entrance not main door). Sometimes this door is open over night.
I have installed a door sensor which shows me the actuasl status on my tablet. However, sometimes I am not looking at the tablet. Basically I would like to have a more obvious "alarm" to remind me that the door is open.
what are you using as a status message? Lights? blinking lights? Sirene (which I do not really prefer).
This will be more important in the future, where I want to include water sensors in the cellar etc. I am not sure about how the alarm should look like.
Any ideas?
Thanks

How about this and some push notification

I made for my own garage door, there is swiitvh in esp8266 which communicates to my domotocz and alarms at evening if its forgotten open.
Also notificates always when someone opens it thru switch own notification.

I'm still surprissed that checks are allways done on open doors...
Not on locked ones. I'm going to add a switch to my front door lock, so I can monitor if it was not forgotten to lock.

I'm curious how you're going to do that. Open or close does not seem that difficult. Locked or unlocked is more difficult i think. What kind of hardware are you going to use?

Hi,

I use a different (dzvents) script to check for doors left open. If a given door has been left open for more time than the threshold defined I am send a message on my phone. I can set different thresholds for each door I want to check. Currently the script stops sending notifications for open doors after 3 times.

Cheers,
Lex

Code: Select all

local devicesToCheck = {
	{ ['name'] = 'Voordeur', ['threshold'] = 11 },
	{ ['name'] = 'Garagedeur', ['threshold'] = 15 },
	{ ['name'] = 'Achterdeur', ['threshold'] = 11 },
	{ ['name'] = 'Provisiekast deur', ['threshold'] = 45 },
	{ ['name'] = 'Bergingdeur', ['threshold'] = 30 },
}

return {
	active = true,
    on = {
        timer = {'every 10 minutes'},
    },
    logging = {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = "POR"
    },    

	execute = function(domoticz)
	    local times = 3
		for i, deviceToCheck in pairs(devicesToCheck) do
			local name = deviceToCheck['name']
			local threshold = deviceToCheck['threshold']
			local state = domoticz.devices(name).state
			local minutes = domoticz.devices(name).lastUpdate.minutesAgo

			if ( state == 'Open') then 
			    if (minutes > threshold) and (minutes < 3 * threshold) then
    			    domoticz.notify('Device ' .. name .. ' staat al langer dan ' .. minutes .. ' minuten open.', domoticz.PRIORITY_HIGH)
                end
			end
		end
	end
}

Micro switch mounted behind the frame of the closing plate, connected to a xiaomi door contact. (Remove reedswitch)
