Easiest way (I think) would be start a bash script, wait the desired time and sens the notification via json.

To be clear: if an event (motion, contact whatever) occurs, you want to wait several minutes before sending the notification? Does the event still need to be 'actual' at that point?
I think you need to explain a bit more the situation. I want notification to be sent asap, before burglars might cut the power.

Yes, if an event (motion, contact whatever) occurs, I want to wait several minutes before sending the notification! For example when my door garage stay open for 5 minutes I want get notification of them.

I would have to google a lot as well, nothing I did yet.

But I think there example scripts for what you want in wiki

You can create an virtual switch (for example named notification). Set on delay of this switch as you wish and off delay at for example 5 sec.

Blockly
if ... (trigger device) is on
do set notification on

if notification is on
do sent notification

Oh, that way. I have that in my PHP script

Code: Select all

if($Spoort!='Closed') {if(xcache_get('alertpoort')<$time-900&&$STpoort<$time-900) {$msg='Poort Open sinds '.strftime("%H:%M:%S", $STpoort);xcache_set('alertpoort',$time);telegram($msg);}}

This sents a telegram every 900 seconds if the port is open for more than 900 seconds.
