> Why not use a central system, like a task/reminder app?
I do. I have OCD. Redundant systems and being able to confirm things are key for me.
> I would understand a child leaving the door open but a teenager doing it that often is kind of wild?
Teens can be absent minded. You might be shocked by how common it is for families with teens to replace a set of forks that just disappeared one by one.
> wouldn't a reminder beep that starts when the door has been open for 5 minutes be better? Must everything be on your phone? It's not even actionable if you're not in the house, where you'd hear a local beep.
It does beep when opened too long.
Remote notifications are the point. They are actionable: when I get the remote notification, I shoot off a text "close the fridge".
