Our customer Charlie in NJ told us "Leaving your garage open at night is the easiest way to get your snowblower stolen." These automations will make sure we don't forget to close the garage when we leave the house or late at night

Check Garage on Exit

This automation waits for an exit area notification from IFTTT and then sends an IOS message if the garage was left open.
