Steve, itâ??s not the best way, but is it possible to trick your opener into
sending a door open message when the lights are on?

I find that lights and other things keep getting left on in my garage/shop
that should be turned off. If I leave the garage door open, I get
notifications on my phone from my opener. I'm looking for something like that
for my lights. I can use something like a smart bulb or smart plug on a
circuit controlled by a wall switch. I can see if the smart device is alive or
if power to it has been cut. I can also replace that wall switch with a smart
switch. I can then see the status of that switch. What I don't seem to be
able to do is tell it to send me a notification if the light has been on for
more than an hour. I have looked at a few smart switches, smart bulbs and
smart plugs. Obviously, I haven't checked them all. None seem to support
doing this. I thought maybe IFTTT would help, but I haven't figured out how to
do it. Do any of you have any ideas? Also, I know I could use timers, motion
sensors, etc to control things. That would be another way to go. Right now, I
just want a notification based on being turned on for an amount of time.
Thanks.
