Hello Guys  
I want to share with you security flows i created to verify the fridge door openned for sometime.

I had two problems,  
1/ my wife keeps the fridge open when she do something  
2/ it’s an old one and sometime parts block the door or the door do not stoick well.

So i wanted a flow to check the door openned for a certain time.  
this is what i have done so far:

- 1 [sensative strip](https://sensative.com/sensors/strips-zwave/guard/) for the door sensor.
- [Chronograph](https://homey.app/fr-fr/app/nl.fellownet.chronograph/Chronograph/) application
- Alexa or google skill

1st flow for the timer  
if the door sensor contact alarm is activated then start timer “firgo\_timer” for a duration of 15 secondes

 ![fridge.1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/e/9eb37f1642b28d26a7a82d9341b8825ca1d880a0.png)

2nd flow  
If the “firgo\_timer” reach zero  
and someone is in the house  
then notify by alexa or google home and/or Homey there is the fridge door open

 ![fridge.2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/8/48b87378bfe3017d0cec2930ccd79bd721a03846.png)

3rd flow  
If the “firgo\_timer” reach zero  
and nobody is in the house  
then notify by phone .

Now the fridge door will not be open without our attention.

extra  
we can add a temperature sensor (i have aqara on the fridge) to also check if the temperature reach under defined degres. It can be add in the “and” condition.
