Hmm with a #HomeAssistant alert, is it possible to make it wait a certain amount of time before firing an alert?

For example, if the a door is open for longer than 5 minutes, then fire the alert. I'm pretty sure I'm being a bit dumb, but I can't figure out how to do that.

@mhamzahkhan You should be able to modify the trigger for the #HomeAssistant automation to only trigger if the door is open for a certain amount of time.

@pwestbro Hmmm I know how to do that for an automation, but I can't figure out how to do it for an alert (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alert/)

It doesn't seem to have a setting to say "on" for 5 minutes before alerting.
