I’ve been absolutely thrilled with how Home Assistant has streamlined my daily routines, especially when it comes to monitoring my home’s ventilation. I’ve set up a system where my Alexa notifies me if any window or door has been open for over 10 minutes, which has been incredibly helpful in maintaining airflow. Additionally, a small alarm sounds to remind me to close them, which I find both practical and effective.
However, I’ve encountered a unique challenge with my son’s upstairs room. Despite my best efforts, he doesn’t always remember to ventilate regularly, leading to some unwelcome mold issues. I’ve been using Home Assistant to track when windows were last opened, but I’m curious if there’s a way to receive notifications if all windows haven’t been opened for at least 10 minutes by a certain time, say 8 PM.
I’d love to create an automation that checks if all upstairs windows have been ventilated properly and sends a gentle reminder via both the Home Assistant app and Alexa. This would be a fantastic addition to my setup, ensuring consistent airflow without constant reminders. If anyone has experience with similar automations or tips on how to structure this, I’d be incredibly grateful for your insights!
