I got a Aqara sensor on my window in the bedroom. I would like to make a flow where when the sensor has been active in 15 min. I will get a notification on my phone. Is it possible when there is no timer app on the bridge ? ---

I don’t own a bridge, but that should work. _ **Flow 1** _ **If…** – Contact alarm turned on **Then…** – Start Flow 2 with a delay of 15 min. _ **Flow 2** _ **If…** – This Flow was started **And…** – Contact alarm is on **Then…** – Push notification ---

Although you shouldn’t close and reopen the window within those 15 minutes, otherwise you get a cascade of flows that get started. ---

Sorry @Jan_Peeters, but as I read your first post my reaction was the same like @JPe4619. I wrote “that **should** work”, not “that **will** work”. And you ask me if I’m sure??? After that, you post flows with a timer app which is definitely not available on the bridge… 🤷🏼‍♂️ The reason why I wrote “that **should** work” was, because I don’t own a bridge and I don’t know exactly if there is a “Delay” option with the bridge. ---

> [@DirkG](#): > > I don’t own a bridge and I don’t know exactly if there is a “Delay” You don’t need a Bridge to test Homey (beta). Only you can’t add fe virtual KAKU devices to test. Keep it with the standard actions. ---
