Hey everyone, I’m trying to set up a simple garage door automation using my Vera Plus hub, but I’m running into some issues. I’ve got a NuTone GD00Z garage door opener, and the device itself works perfectly—it shows the correct status (open/closed) and responds when I click the open/close buttons in the Vera app. However, I want to create a scene where the garage door automatically closes at 9PM if it’s open, and I also want to receive a notification when it happens.
I thought this would be straightforward, but after spending a few days testing different configurations, I’m still not getting it right. The main problem is that the notification triggers every time the scene runs, not just when the door is open. I tried changing the TRIPPED value from 1 to 0, but that didn’t solve the issue. Additionally, when I try to view the Logic Summary, I get an error message saying “handler failed.”
Here’s what I’ve tried so far: I created a scene that checks the garage door status at 9PM. If it’s open, it should close the door and send a notification. If it’s closed, it should do nothing. The logic seems sound, but the notification part is causing trouble. I also noticed that manually tripping the Reactor plugin works perfectly, so I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing in the setup.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions or insights on how to fix this. Is there a specific variable I should be using? Do I need to arm the plugin in a certain way? I’ve attached what I believe are the relevant settings, but I might be overlooking something. Thanks in advance for your help!
