I have a couple of notifications setup for a couple open/ close sensors. My freezer and my garage door. I set up some routines in SmartThings. The notifications turn on but how do I get them to turn off for example when the freezer door is closed or when the garage door is closed?
Red dimmer
Just do another routine the opposite of what you did to turn it on. So if you turn it on when the freezer door opens, you turn it off when the freezer door shuts.
The problem is that I want the LED to just go back to the pre-trigger state. I have my LED normally set to Green and to match the dim level of the light. When, for example, the garage door is open it changes to Cyan and pulses. Before edge, once the garage was closed the notification just turned off. Since I have 5 Red Dimmers reacting to certain conditions sometimes the notifications would “Stick”. I was able to tell Google to “turn off the notifications” (I had each notification with the word notification in it so Google would turn them all off, again if necessary, and reset the LED to the standard Green. It looks like a “Turn Off” routine doesn’t have the option to just turn off the notification; but rather just set it to a hard setting. I had many routines that monitor Doors, water etc. I want to be able have them just go back to the “Normal” condition.
That’s what turning off the notification does.
Sure it does.
Ah, didn’t even see “Off” in the effects. Thank you so much Bry!
I also have a routine that shuts off my Well Pump when a leak sensor goes wet. I’m using a (NC) contactor w/ the Red Switch. When a leak is detected, the switch turns on opening the contactor and killing the pump power. It seems I can’t turn off the switch AND turn the notification off (all options go gray when set the switch to turn off). Other than creating a separate routine just for the notification is there a way to do this within the main routine?
You could create a scene for “notification off” and then call that scene from the routine. It’s still creating an extra routine (“manually run routine”) but there’s only one trigger. Since I want each of my red dimmers to provide the same notifications, placing them in a scene has been easier for me to manage in general.
I like that idea. Then I (assume I) can just use the single scene rather than configuring 5 red Dimmer/Switch notifications for each routine (Although most of it is done already)?
