Fridge door open for 1 minute with speaker announcement

I have a scene where the frige door is open for more than 1 minute the speaker sends a notification. This is done with google automations and google speaker. I am using a SNZB-04. When it openes it has a small lag until it reaches google, but this I consider normal… the probles is that if the door is opened and closed under approx 5 seconds it sometines does not update in google home and it gives a false positive. Can something be done to improve this ?

I see that there is a SNZB-04P available that does what I need (open for time) but is there a way to announce this on the google speaker?

If I understand your need correctly, it can probably be improved, at least a little, but a lot depends on whether your Google is able to accept webhooks?

If you are able to pass the command to google from https://sequematic.com then you can achieve the correct behavior.

Don’t count the time on Google’s side, Google only has to receive the command and immediately perform the action.
We count the time at https://sequematic.com and there we control the start/stop of the countdown to sending the command to Google.

I’ve written about it several times on the forum…

Advice on scene for automating dust extraction

Known problem with automation and ways to perform logic in ewelink. This can be bypassed, but not using ewelink alone. You have to use https://sequematic.com and therefore everything must have access to the Internet… Maybe ewelink will improve it someday in the future, maybe not. The problem here is the way the scenes are performed by ewelink. If a scene is initialized, it will be executed until the very end, regardless of whether a new scene is initiated during it. In addition, this new sce…

Scenes does not enabled or disabled from a manual scene or from auto scene

So you want to have a stopwatch that will be reset every time the sensor is activated… You can achieve this using ewelink + https://sequematic.com On the ewelink side you will need two scenes. On the SM side you will need three sequences and pairing your ewelink account and one variable. [q9] On the ewelink side, you need two scenes, one to start the countdown and the other to change the value of the variable so that there are no mistakes, let’s call it STOP. On the SM side, we need thre…

However, your Google speaker must be able to share the webhook url, I don’t remember if there is such an option.

Another option is to create a loop and use https://sequematic.com → ewelink webhook and send the command to Google via ewelink.

By doing it this way, the speaker will not receive any command for 60 seconds. If the state changes from Open to Closed before 1 minute has passed, the sequence will stop and the speaker will never receive any command…

If the variable remains Open after 1 minute, the speaker will receive the command. This model is extremely simple and will not be repeated again for the Open variable, it is one-time.
