Hi 🙂 I’m a beginner. In fact, I haven’t received my Homey Pro yet, but I’m still wondering. Can you put a door-magnet on a freezer and get an alarm in the app, if someone doesn’t close the door completely? For example if it’s not closed after 3 minutes?

Start with the most simple solution by defining a zone for the fridge and assign the sensor to that zone.  
Then using a normal flow like:

WHEN zone is active for 5 minutes  
THEN send me a push notification

I have a flow with a temperature sensor in the fridge. If the temperature rises above a certain treshold, I get a push notification and the temperature with the request to check the fridge is played from a nearby Google speaker.

Hi 🙂, yes, I also have such a temperature sensor, but I thought it would be nice to get a message right away, before the temperature has time to rise. It’s now working pretty well, but I’m getting some false alarms, so this Telldus sensor isn’t working quite optimally.
