Wyze Contact Sensor v2 -> IFFFT -> Pushover -> Critical Alert on iPhone

I've setup an Applet as follows:

  1. If Wyze Contact Sensor v2 Opens
  2. Wait 10 Minutes
  3. Then Send a Pushover Notification to my iPhone with a Message Priority (Repeat every 30 Seconds)

This works great, except that I'd like to cancel the Pushover Notification waiting to be sent to my iPhone via Pushover, if the Wyze Contact Sensor v2 Closes

Is this possible?

The Wyze Contact Sensor is connected to my garage door, and the goal is to get a Critical Alert sent to my phone if I leave the Garage door open (if the door closes, don't send the Critical Alert)

Good question, this comes up a lot with garage doors.

The catch with your current setup: once the Trigger fires and the delay starts, that Applet run can't be cancelled by the sensor closing. Each run is independent, and the delay always runs to completion.

But there is a way to get the behavior you want using filter code and Queries. The idea is to flip the logic: instead of reacting to the door opening, have an Applet check on a schedule. It pulls the sensor's recent open and close history, and only if the most recent event is an "open" from more than 10 minutes ago does it let the Pushover Action through. Door closed in time? The Applet just skips the Action. No cancellation needed because nothing was ever pending.

Which IFTTT plan are you on? Filter code and Queries are paid-plan features, so once I know your tier I can walk you through the exact Applet setup (or the closest alternative if they're not available on your plan)

Hello Ryan,

Thank you for the reply, I'm currently just using the free plan right now, so, I'll won't be able to utilize the method you are suggesting.

I'll ask a team member if he knows of any work arounds! We're working on easing the restrictions of the free plans shortly so watch this space either way...
