Repeating speech

OGS

When I leave my frontdoor open I want Homey to tell me that my frontdoor is open after 30 sec (that works)
Now I want homey to repeat that every 30 sec until I close the door or use my swipe to shut him up. 
Is there a easy way to create a repeating timer?

bvdbos

after opening door is detected : activate repeat-flow
in the repeat-flow : every 30 seconds (trigger) check if door is still open (condition) and if that's the case (condition = true) tell "still open" (action) else (condition is false) deactivate repeat-flow (action)
after close is detected (trigger) : deactivate repeat-flow (action)
after shut up is detected (trigger)  : deactivate repeat-fow (action)

Seems simple to me. 

First column: card date & time, every 30 seconds 

Second column: card sensor front door is open
Third column: say, front door is open

Thanks I will try the sugestions 

OGS

Indeed was very simple I just didn't see the repeating option. 
Thanks is working now

@FvHuizen : If you do this without activating/de-activating you'll be overloading your Homey with checks/triggers while the door is closed 99,9% of the time....

OGS

At least it should be closed 99.9% otherwise I have a big problem
Indeed I used the activate/deactivate flow
for me you can close this question as solved (super fast)

However this thread is old, I struggle with the same problem as topic starter. As a newbie I can't find the repeat-flow option. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Use as a trigger that the door is opened. This starts a 30 second counter, thats stop only if the door is closed again.
For that counter you could use the countdown app ( https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.bevlogenheid.countdown )

I created an example for you:

• Door is opened (contactalarm ON)
• Say "Backdoor is opened"
• Set timer "TimeDoor" = 30s (App CountDown)

• If countdown time TimeDoor is empty
• and door is still open (contactalarm ON)
• then say again "Backdoor is open" and set timer TimeDoor again to 30 sec.

This flow keeps repeating until the door is closed (contactalarm OFF)

Alternative
More advanced is adding a counter so the flow will stop after x times

• Door is opened (contactalarm ON)
• Say "Backdoor is opened"
• Set timer "TimeDoor" = 300s (App CountDown)
• Set number variable "TellerAchterdeur" = 3 (App Better Logic)

• If countdown time TimeDoor is empty
• and door is still open (contactalarm ON)
• and number variable "TellerAchterdeur" is greater than 0
• then say again "Backdoor is open" and set timer TimeDoor again to 300 sec.
• decrease the number variable "TellerAchterdeur" with 1

The second flow will run 3 times until the number variable "TellerAchterdeur" = 0
So you get 4 times a warning every 5 minutes and then the flow stops.

Succes!

Hello guys, thanks for your reply! Specially htilburgs's suggestions are really helpful. I already managed to apply them in my own situation. Thanks!

If you are willing I hope you have an opportunity to look at my other problem?  https://forum.athom.com/discussion/5305/how-to-avoid-closing-sunshades-when-partly-cloudy#latest
