OK. I can see all the "devices", the garage door sensor works, but when I set up the scene as described, it doesn't work.

I did a test and changed the condition to just garagedoorsensor = 255 and removed the GarageDoorReport devices and pause, it works. Texting me every two minutes that it is open, and not when it is closed. Once I change the condition back to what you have suggested, and leave out the garagedoorreport and pause, it doesn't work. So I am asuming it must have to do with the condition. I have double checked and I am setting it up as you have pictured.

Obviously I am doing something wrong, but can't figure it out. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

Could you include some screen shots of your setup? Also, in your condition, could you make sure you click every highlighted field and set an actual value, even if it appears to already be set? Finally, you might look in your logfile.txt and see if it tells you why the triggers are failing. It should give a little text blurb about what isn't working.
