Hi,

I am still pretty new with NodeRed and could use some help getting a message to send at the right time. I have a garage door sensor connected to Hubitat and get status using the Hubitat device node. I only want to send a message after 10 minutes if the door is open. I'm not sure if the trigger node is meant to accomplish this, but it would not cancel the message if the door is closed in less than 10 minutes. I appreciate your feedback.

Yes you can use the door closed message to send a msg.reset to the trigger node to cancel it.
