1) Give a description of the problem
Action is only triggered once
2) What is the expected behaviour?
I’d like my google homes to broadcast that someone left the door every minute the door contact sensor is open. Once the sensor is closed, the action should end.
3) What is happening/not happening?
I am able to get the announcement to run once, but not more than once, even if the door stays open.

There are a few different ways you can do this,
1 - Using the repeat command
2 - Setting up a timer for 1 minute
3 - Using a variable
etc
ie:
Every minute
If contact sensor IS OPEN (condition)
then
do this do that@ike2018 made an excellent suggestion. The problem is it would actually run every minute all day which would bog down your network. I would suggest something like this:
if bulb changes to on
then
wait 1 minute
while bulb is on
with location <--Never cancel
make POST request
wait 1 minute
end with
end while
end if
This will just start running when the light is turned on (or door opened) and then announce every minute until turned off (or closed).
The first announcement goes off after 60 seconds. However, a second announcement does not play 60 seconds later while the door is still open. What do you think the prob is?
You might want to delete the second WAIT on line 31…
(unless you want a 2 min wait between events)
