I live in an HOA community and we often forget to close our garage door. Anywhere from 11pm to 2am we get a call from security telling us our door is open. ☹ I’ve tried setting night alerts on 3 different devices but they have yet to work. I assume garadget gets it’s time from the device it’s installed on such as my phone. I’ve experimented for hours trying to get it to work. Open/Close alerts work fine but not the “Close your damn door idiot!” alerts at night. Thanks in advance. ---

The issue may have to do with the incorrect time zone. Regardless of the night setting I would recommend the timeout alert. Night or day if the door stays open for too long you’ll get an alert. ---

I use an IFTTT recipe that automatically closes the door at midnight if it is open. It is a generic recipe, just link your garadget account to IFTTT.
