Trigger automation every 5 minutes while a sensor is open

I have a sensor on my freezer door because my kids have left it open in the past and I am wondering if there is a way to have an automation trigger every 5 minutes (or so) until the door is marked closed.

Basically, I would like to use the ios notify feature to keep pinging my phone until I can get the freezer door closed.

I would suggest using an Alert to start with.

This is fantastic and seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. Can you have the alert create buttons that can be used in the ios app?

At the moment I have an automation that sends a “close” button to my apple watch when the garage door is left open.

Not directly with the alert but there’s nothing stopping you using an alert and an automation to send an actionable notification as well.

Thank you very much.
