Help w I/O-Linc Conditional Logic

Need some help w I/O-Linc logic for a Garage Door.

I have an Insteon I/O-Linc Controller, and use the Binary input to determine if my Garage Rollup Door is open or closed with a contact closure.

I am trying to create some Indigo logic that says something like:

-If the Binary input is OPEN for 5 minutes, send an email.
-Keep checking every 5 minutes, and if still OPEN after another 5 minutes, send another email.
-If CLOSED, don't send an email and reset the timer.

I tried using a Trigger in Indigo UI, but can't seem to figure out how to specify the logic. I am open to using Python and/or Variables, just need a pointer in the right direction.

Thanks,

Chris

Create a Timer object (Timers and Pesters plugin) set to 5 min.

When door sensor opens, start the timer.

When door closes, stop the timer.

When timer expires, send email and restart the timer.

Thanks for direction, I remember that plugin always coming with Indigo, but never used it in all these years!

Take a look at Cynical Behaviors Plugin Perry has a great Garage Door sensor that my be of use to you.

I was able to get it running with Timers and Pesters, but will check out Cynical Behaviors.

Thank You!
