Question! If I put a sensor on my garage door, can I made a scene that says, "If door is open still at 10pm, activate SwitchBot to push garage door button." Thanks!

Hi Kevin, you can set a scene and add two conditions: 1. Schedule = set hour to 10 pm, repeat which ever days you want 2. Door sensor: open or still open Action: Bot: Press This scene will check daily at 10pm if the garage door is open and it it is it will trigger the bot to press the close button. The only problem is that if you come home after 10 pm for instance or if you open the door afterwards, it will not automatically press the button. This scene will only trigger the action at exactly 10 pm.

@@adriancuc1365 Thanks SO MUCH! I just ordered the hub, sensor, and two switches :-)

@@kdsewell01 If you also have a Samsung SmartThings hub you can do even more. For instance, you can set up a routine and set up period of time (eg: between 10 pm and 7 am) and select the sensor and set for instance if it is open for 5 minutes to trigger the bot to push the button. This way, even if you come home late you will be able to trigger the routine with no issues. Again, you will need an additional smartthings hub for this
